How to query between two dates using Laravel and Eloquent?

The whereBetween method verifies that a column's value is between two values.

$from = date('2018-01-01');
$to = date('2018-05-02');

Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_from', [$from, $to])->get();

In some cases you need to add date range dynamically. Based on @Anovative's comment you can do this:

Reservation::all()->filter(function($item) {
  if (Carbon::now()->between($item->from, $item->to)) {
    return $item;
  }
});

If you would like to add more condition then you can use orWhereBetween. If you would like to exclude a date interval then you can use whereNotBetween .

Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_from', [$from1, $to1])
  ->orWhereBetween('reservation_to', [$from2, $to2])
  ->whereNotBetween('reservation_to', [$from3, $to3])
  ->get();

Other useful where clauses: whereIn, whereNotIn, whereNull, whereNotNull, whereDate, whereMonth, whereDay, whereYear, whereTime, whereColumn , whereExists, whereRaw.

Laravel docs about Where Clauses.

Another option if your field is datetime instead of date (although it works for both cases):

$fromDate = "2016-10-01";
$toDate   = "2016-10-31";

$reservations = Reservation::whereRaw(
  "(reservation_from >= ? AND reservation_from <= ?)", 
  [
     $fromDate ." 00:00:00", 
     $toDate ." 23:59:59"
  ]
)->get();

And I have created the model scope

More about scopes:

https://laravel.com/docs/eloquent#query-scopes

https://medium.com/@janaksan_/using-scope-with-laravel-7c80dd6a2c3d

Code:

   /**
     * Scope a query to only include the last n days records
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder $query
     * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder
     */
    public function scopeWhereDateBetween($query,$fieldName,$fromDate,$todate)
    {
        return $query->whereDate($fieldName,'>=',$fromDate)->whereDate($fieldName,'<=',$todate);
    }

And in the controller, add the Carbon Library to top

use Carbon\Carbon;

To get the last 10 days record from now

 $lastTenDaysRecord = ModelName::whereDateBetween('created_at',(new Carbon)->subDays(10)->startOfDay()->toDateString(),(new Carbon)->now()->endOfDay()->toDateString() )->get();

To get the last 30 days record from now

 $lastThirtyDaysRecord = ModelName::whereDateBetween('created_at',(new Carbon)->subDays(30)->startOfDay()->toDateString(),(new Carbon)->now()->endOfDay()->toDateString() )->get();

If you want to check if current date exist in between two dates in db: =>here the query will get the application list if employe's application from and to date is exist in todays date.

$list=  (new LeaveApplication())
            ->whereDate('from','<=', $today)
            ->whereDate('to','>=', $today)
            ->get();

---

The following should work:

$now = date('Y-m-d');
$reservations = Reservation::where('reservation_from', '>=', $now)
                           ->where('reservation_from', '<=', $to)
                           ->get();

---

Try this:

Since you are fetching based on a single column value you can simplify your query likewise:

$reservations = Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_from', array($from, $to))->get();

Retrieve based on condition: laravel docs

Hope this helped.

If you need to have in when a datetime field should be like this.

return $this->getModel()->whereBetween('created_at', [$dateStart." 00:00:00",$dateEnd." 23:59:59"])->get();

I followed the valuable solutions provided by other contributors and faced a minor issue no one has addressed. If the reservation_from is a datetime column then it might not produce results as expected and will miss all the records in which the date is same but time is anything above 00:00:00 time. To improve the above code a bit a small tweak is needed like so.

$from = Carbon::parse();
$to = Carbon::parse();
$from = Carbon::parse('2018-01-01')->toDateTimeString();
//Include all the results that fall in $to date as well
$to = Carbon::parse('2018-05-02')
    ->addHours(23)
    ->addMinutes(59)
    ->addSeconds(59)
    ->toDateTimeString();
//Or $to can also be like so
$to = Carbon::parse('2018-05-02')
    ->addHours(24)
    ->toDateTimeString();
Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_from', [$from, $to])->get();

I know this might be an old question but I just found myself in a situation where I had to implement this feature in a Laravel 5.7 app. Below is what worked from me.

 $articles = Articles::where("created_at",">", Carbon::now()->subMonths(3))->get();

You will also need to use Carbon

use Carbon\Carbon;

Here's my answer is working thank you Artisan Bay i read your comment to use wheredate()

It Worked

public function filterwallet($id,$start_date,$end_date){

$fetch = DB::table('tbl_wallet_transactions')
->whereDate('date_transaction', '>=', $start_date)                                 
->whereDate('date_transaction', '<=', $end_date)                                 
->get();

---

the trick is to change it :

Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_from', [$from, $to])->get();

to

Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_from', ["$from", "$to"])->get();

because the date must be in string type in mysql
