仅比较日期来自数据库Timestamp Laravel

Question

I have an attendance system, now I want to compare the date of the day to the date in the database, I have my date in the database in Timestamp format, now what I only need is the date and the year, I want to compare it to the current date, Here is my code:

        $userinput=Input::get('empid');

        $mydate=Carbon::now()->addHours(8);
        $newdate=$mydate->toDateString();

        if ($newdate==$datefromdatabaseifexist) 
        {


        }

        else

        DB::table('attendances')->insert(
        array('user_id' => $userinput, 'logon' =>$newdate)
        );

Answer 1

It sounds like you want to check if the date is the same (not necessarily the same year)

$dateInDB = Carbon::createFromTimestamp($timestamp);
$dateToCompare = Carbon::now()->addHours(8);

if($dateToCompare->isBirthday($dateInDB)){
    //do something because this day matches
}

Funny name I know. If you need to also check year then use Carbon::isSameDay()
