How to subYear from date using laravel Carbon

In this article, I will share how to use the Laravel carbon subYear() and subYears() methods. You can use this method in Laravel 5, Laravel 6, Laravel 7 & Laravel 8 versions.

So, let's see some examples using carbon subYear() and subYears() from date.

Example: 1

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Carbon\Carbon;

class ExampleController extends Controller
{
/**
 * Write code on Method
 *
 * @return response()
 */
public function index()
{
$currentDateTime = Carbon::now();
$newDateTime = Carbon::now()->subYear();

print_r($currentDateTime);
print_r($newDateTime);
}
}

Output:

Carbon\Carbon Object
