PHP Laravel - Undefined property: DateTime::$format

Hello,

I'm used to using a custom format from datetime like below. When I try it in the Laravel framework, I can't. Can you advise how to achieve the datetime format? Thank you


Error 1 (format)
-----------------------------
$now = new DateTime;
$now->format('Y')

ErrorException
Undefined property: DateTime::$format



Error 2 (isoFormat)
-----------------------------
$now = Carbon::now();
$now->isoFormat('dddd D')

Unknown getter 'isoFormat'

Hi,

You can format the datetime in the Laravel framework using Carbon, for example, as follows:

$now = Carbon::now()->format('d.m.Y');
