// Between now and 180 days ago Carbon::today()->subDays(rand(0, 180)) > 2021-09-02 00:00:00 > 2021-06-23 00:00:00 > 2021-05-23 00:00:00 // Between now and 180 days ago with random time Carbon::today()->subDays(rand(0, 179))->addSeconds(rand(0, 86400)); > 2021-06-11 22:35:03 > 2021-10-24 13:19:53 > 2021-06-09 20:47:44 |
