Get an averange of visitors in Laravel - php

Question

I want to have an averange of visitors per day. I'm using Laravel 4.
The database structure I have is this:
Name: visitor
Now I tried to use the avg() function of Laravel, but I can't find a right solution. Could someone help me please with this?
I already have an controller wich one looks like this:
public function index()
{
//$select_stats = Visitor::where('visit_date', '>=', Carbon::now()->startOfMonth())->get();
$begin = date('Y-m-01');
$end = date('Y-m-t');
$visits = Tracker::selectRaw('date, count(ip)')->groupBy('date')->whereRaw("date between '$begin' and '$end'")->get();
//get total visits per month
$get_visits = Visitor::whereRaw("date between '$begin' and '$end'")->count();
//get averange visits
return View::make('admin.home.index')->with('stats', $visits)->with('get_visits', $get_visits)/*->with('get_avg_visits', $get_avg_visits)*/;
}

Answer 1

Basically, you've got everything you need for calculating the average count of visitors, no additional query needed :) You just have to divide the total number of visits by the number of days of the month:
public function index()
{
$begin = date('Y-m-01');
$end = date('Y-m-t');
// ...
//get total visits per month
$get_visits = Visitor::whereRaw("date between '$begin' and '$end'")->count();
// get average visits
// transform dates to DateTime objects (we need the number of days between $begin and $end)
$begin = new \DateTime($begin);
$end = new \DateTime($end);
$diff = $end->diff($begin); // creates a DateInterval object
$days = (int)$diff->format('%a'); // %a --> days
$average_visits = $get_visits / $days;
// ...
}

Try like this-
$avrage_visit= Visitor::select(DB::raw('avg("date") as date_avg')))->groupBy('date')
->get();
