2 methods to check if a given Date is Today’s Date in Laravel

In this tutorial I will show you two days to check if a given date is today’s date in Laravel. These 2 methods are isToday method and isSameDay method of Carbon library class in Laravel.

First Method: Using IsToday()

In the first method, we will use the IsToday() method.

This is how you can do it in code:

use Carbon\Carbon;

$date = Carbon::parse('2023-08-25');

if ($date->isToday()) {
    echo "It is Today"
} else {
    echo "It is not Today"
}

Second Method: Using isSameDay()

In this second method, we can use the isSameDay() method which is also available in the Carbon Library.

Here is how you do it in the code:

use Carbon\Carbon;

$date = Carbon::parse('2023-08-25');

if ($date->isSameDay(Carbon::now())) {
    echo "It is Today"
} else {
    echo "It is not Today"
}
