减去Laravel的时间

Question

I have two fields beginning time and endingtime in a Mysql database. I want to calculate a duration inside a view in Laravel. So I wrote :

{{ $date1=date('G:i',strtotime($timeSlot->beginningTime)) }}
{{ $date2=date('G:i',strtotime($timeSlot->endingTime)) }}
{{ $date2-$date1 }}

My issue is : the difference gives me only hours difference without minutes...

Thanks for your help

It's bad practice to have logic inside a view.

Use carbon and pass data from a controller to the view.

$date1 = Carbon::parse(date('G:i',strtotime($timeSlot->beginningTime)));
$date2 = Carbon::parse(date('G:i',strtotime($timeSlot->endingTime)));

$totalDuration = $date1->diffInSeconds($date2);

Then use gmdate:

   $exactDuration =  gmdate('H:i:s', $totalDuration);

// 00:00:21

You can then pass this $exactDuration to your view and use it there.
