How Compare Times In Laravel

I want to compare my variable from may form with the current date :

$a = explode('/', $request->expired_at);
$expiredAt = str_replace('/', '-', jalali_to_gregorian($a[0], $a[1], $a[2], ':'));

my $expiredAt result -> “2021-03-25” -> insert by user in form

And my short if :

return Carbon::now()->toDateString() > $expiredAt ? false : true;

but this code returns null result.

Answer

Carbon should be able to parse expired_at for you so you parse expired_at and see whether now() is greater.

return ! now()->greaterThan(Carbon::parse($request->expired_at));
