I need to dynamically echo the start and end dates of the current Australian financial year (July 1st to June 30 of the year).
I am using Carbon and Laravel to get the dates of the current financial year.
I assume the code will look something like this semi-pseudocode
$now = now(); if( $now > $july_first_current_year ) { $year_start = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:s:i', $now->subYear()->year . '-7-1 0:00:01'); $year_end = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:s:i', $now->year . '-6-30 0:00:01'); } else { $year_start = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:s:i', $now->year . '-7-1 0:00:01'); $year_end = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:s:i', $now->addYear()->year . '-6-30 0:00:01'); }
As you can see my math is not quite right and it seems im missing a step or two to output the right dates. Or perhaps im missing something simple?

Try this :
$start_year = CarbonCarbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:s:i', date('Y').'-07-01 00:00:00'); $end_year = CarbonCarbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:s:i', date('Y').'-06-30 23:59:59.999999'); if(now() > $start_year) $start_year = $start_year->subYear(1); else $end_year = $end_year->addYear(1);
