Laravel 10 Get All Month Between Two Dates using Carbon

Hello Artisan, today I'll show you how to get all months between two dates in our Laravel application. Sometimes we ran into a situation where we need to find all the months between two dates. So, let's see how we can achieve this.

Finding Months Between Two Dates

For getting all the months we'll use create() method of CarbonPeriod class. It accepts three parameters as the arguments.

  1. Start date
  2. Period
  3. End date

So, look at the below source code where we'll get all the months between two dates.

$result = CarbonPeriod::create('2023-01-01', '1 month', '2023-08-01');

$months = [];

foreach ($result as $dt) {
   $months[] = $dt->format("Y-m");
}
dd($months);

Which'll print all the months between those two given dates like below. 

2023-01
2023-02
2023-03
2023-04
2023-05
2023-06
