If you want to always display the current day's month and year, you can use PHP's built-in date function. For example, the below will give you a label November 2018.



{{Form::label('title', date('F Y') )}}


See PHP Documentation on the date function



If you want more powerful manipulation, use Carbon.

  • Since you are using Laravel, you might want to check this page for some handy methods of saving dates. laravel.com/docs/5.7/eloquent-mutators#date-mutators. Using date, it's just about formatting your date into the default format: w3schools.com/sql/sql_dates.asp

You can use the Carbon library which is available out of the box with Laravel:



{{ Form::label('title', CarbonCarbon::now()->format('M, Y') }}


You can format using native PHP DateTime Format



Update:



As @Josh mentioned, you can also use the laravel helper now()




The now function creates a new IlluminateSupportCarbon instance for the current time




{{ Form::label('title', now()->format('M, Y') }}

  • @SummerWinter add use CarbonCarbon to the top of your file above your class declaration

    Or you can just change it to now()->format('M, Y')

    $today = Carbon::now();
