查找两个日期对象之间的天数

Question

I currently have two date objects like this:

2018-01-17 22:50:30 2018-01-23 23:04:36

And I am trying to find the number of days between them. What is the proper way to do this in Laravel/PHP? Is just subtracting them sufficient?

I tried the possible solution linked below and it has not been working for me.

Since this is tagged Laravel, you have access to Carbon which makes this easy:

Assuming both are Carbon instances:

$date1->diffInDays($date2);

Eloquent timestamps are automatically converted to Carbon instances for manipulation.
