What you should do is something like this:

$start_time = \Carbon\Carbon::parse($request->input('start_time'));
$finish_time = \Carbon\Carbon::parse($request->input('finish_time'));

$price = $request->input('price');

$result = $start_time->diffInDays($finish_time, false);

if ($result < 0) {
  $price = $price * $result;
}

I don't know which dates you wanted to subtract so make sure that you valid one. You should use either:

$result = $start_time->diffInDays($finish_time, false);

or

$result = $finish_time->diffInDays($start_time, false);

Keep in mind you need to pass false as 2nd argument to diffInDays method - otherwise you will always get positive result.

In your controller method you can calculate the difference:

   $start_time = $request->input('start_time');
   $start_time_ob = new \Carbon\Carbon($start_time);

Or you can use the static Carbon::parse() method:

$finish_time = $request->input('finish_time');
$finish_time_ob = \Carbon\Carbon::parse($date);

For your purposes you can use the this full example:

$diff =  $finish_time_ob->diffInDays($start_time_ob);

Expiry Date

$expirydate = \Carbon\Carbon::parse($object->end_date);

$expirydate = 2020-06-09 00:00:00

Returns Current Date

$today = \Carbon\Carbon::now();

$today = 2019-09-05 13:53:47

Total number of day days remaining to expire

$difference = $today->diffInDays($expirydate, false)

$difference = 277

Total 277 days remaining to expire.

If Days are coming in negative number it means it has been expired otherwise yet to expire.
