A simple PHP API extension for DateTime.

printf("Right now is %s", Carbon::now()->toDateTimeString());
printf("Right now in Vancouver is %s", Carbon::now('America/Vancouver')); // automatically converted to string
$tomorrow = Carbon::now()->addDay();
$lastWeek = Carbon::now()->subWeek();

// Carbon embed 823 languages:
echo $tomorrow->locale('fr')->isoFormat('dddd, MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm');
echo $tomorrow->locale('ar')->isoFormat('dddd, MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm');

$officialDate = Carbon::now()->toRfc2822String();

$howOldAmI = Carbon::createFromDate(1975, 5, 21)->age;

$noonTodayLondonTime = Carbon::createFromTime(12, 0, 0, 'Europe/London');

$internetWillBlowUpOn = Carbon::create(2038, 01, 19, 3, 14, 7, 'GMT');

if (Carbon::now()->isWeekend()) {
    echo 'Party!';
}
echo Carbon::now()->subMinutes(2)->diffForHumans(); // '2 minutes ago'

Getting Started

3.x is compatible with PHP 8.1+.
2.x version requires PHP 7.1.8+.

Installing

The easiest and recommended method to install Carbon is via composer.

If you're using Laravel, Carbon is provided out of the box. You may now check our Laravel configuration and best-practices recommendations.

If you're using Symfony, you may check our Symfony configuration and best-practices recommendations.

Use the following command to install with composer.

composer require nesbot/carbon

This will automatically get the latest version and configure a composer.json file.

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Carbon\Carbon;

printf("Now: %s", Carbon::now());

If you wish you can create the following composer.json file and run composer install to install it.

{
    "require": {
        "nesbot/carbon": "^3.8.0"
    }
}

Why not using composer?

Download the last release (or any other you want) here: releases.

Release package is the asset named Carbon-x.y.z.zip where x.y.z is the version number.

Extract the zip in a directory in your project, then require the autoload.php file to make any Carbon class available:

<?php
require 'path/to/Carbon/autoload.php';

use Carbon\Carbon;
use Carbon\CarbonInterval;

printf("Now: %s", Carbon::now());

printf("1 day: %s", CarbonInterval::day()->forHumans());

Those packages contain symfony/translation to make diffForHumans method vailable in different languages.

Install with composer is still a better option since it allows you to get the symfony/translation (and possible future dependencies) version that suit the best your PHP version and keep the whole think up-to-date via composer update command.
