Mysql timestamp to date

To convert a mysql date to an ordinary date you can use the following snippet

//MYSQL  timestamp to date 

date("Y-m-d", strtotime($item->date)



{{  strftime("%d %b %Y",strtotime($user->created_at)) }}

In other situation, you will need to convert a timestamp to match and be inserted to a mysql , Here is a simple note and solution:

 //Transform timestamp to a mysql date

$allowedDate       = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', time()-$allowedMonths*30*24*60*60);



//Now you can use this with your model queries

$oldRecords            = FeedvisitstatusModel::where('view_date', "<", $allowedDate)->delete();
