Time Date Calculation Wrong output

Question

i am using laravel 5.5 trying to calculate days and multiply with price

working fine when i select date from drop down but when i type date calculation doing wrong what's happening i don't know

here is my controller

$pick = Carbon::parse($request->input('pickdate'));
$drop = Carbon::parse($request->input('dropdate'));

$lengthday = $pick->diffInDays($drop, false);

$ptime = str_replace([' '], '', $request->pickuptime);
$dtime = str_replace([' '], '', $request->droptime);
$picktime = Carbon::parse($ptime);
$droptime = Carbon::parse($dtime);

$lengthmin = $picktime->diffInMinutes($droptime, false);
$car = Car::where('slug', $car)->firstorfail();

$cprice = $car->price;
if ($lengthmin >= '1') {
    $minprice = $car->price;
}
else
{
    $minprice = '0';
}
$price = $cprice*$lengthday+$minprice;

if ($price <= '0') {
    return back()->with('warning', 'Please Enter Valid Date & Time');
}

here is my view

<div class="form-date-w3-agileits">
    <div class="form-agileits">
        <label>Pickup Date :</label>
    </div>
    <div class="form-agileits-2">
        <input type="date" name="pickupdate" style="width: 92%;
        outline: none;
        font-size: 0.9em;
        padding: 13px 10px;
        border: 1px solid #fff;
        font-weight: 100;
        -webkit-appearance: none;
        margin-bottom: 1.4em;
        background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.69);
        font-family: 'Amaranth', sans-serif;
        color: #bbb9b9;" required=""> 
    </div>  
    <div class="clear"> </div>            
</div>

Typo? $request->input('pickdate') Your field is named pickupdate — user8034901

So is it because the user enters a date in a different format? — RiggsFolly

In the comments, you've said you have problems only when users enter the date manually. You need to use the date validation rule to allow users to enter only valid dates. For example:

'pickdate' => 'date',
'dropdate' => 'date',

Then you'll be sure Carbon will be able to parse the input data.
