Laravel Carbon error with year in difference between dates

Question

Good afternoon... I try to make the difference in years between the current date and a date in the database like this:

$final = '2016-05-10'; //date database
$hoy = \Carbon\Carbon::now(); //today
$fecha_ingreso = \Carbon\Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $final);

$diff = $hoy->diffInYears($fecha_ingreso); //diff

But when doing a var_dump() of $fecha_ingreso it shows me the following:

object(Carbon\Carbon)#259 (3) { ["date"]=> string(26) "2155-05-10 22:27:09.000000" ["timezone_type"]=> int(3) ["timezone"]=> string(3) "UTC" }

The day and the month are ok but the year is not, why can this error be ?? Thank you very much for the help.

Answer 1

I assume you want the difference in number of years, try this.

$dbDate = \Carbon\Carbon::parse('2016-05-10');
$diffYears = \Carbon\Carbon::now()->diffInYears($dbDate);

// $diffYears is 1
