Laravel carbon parse date

Question

I have a json with date of users. Dates can be format:

"bdate": "25.10",
"bdate": "8.7.1990"
"bdate": "13.10.1984"
"bdate": "7.3"

How I can parse these dates in carbon globally?

When I use:

Carbon::parse($people->bdate)

I get error:

DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (25.10) at position 0 (2): Unexpected character

"bdate": "25.10", what does that format mean, I mean how would you convert that to a normal date? — ArtisticPhoenix

That's what I figured ... anyway, what year is that? You can't make a date without a year. If I cant figure it out (as a human), It's little surprise a simple piece of code Carbon::parse cant either. — ArtisticPhoenix

@ArtisticPhoenix and then what I can do? I need get birthday date, but service send me dates where year can be, and year can be not. — Mafys Grif

@MafysGrif try \Carbon\Carbon::createFromFormat('d.m', $date)->day; though it needs some work around to match all of your case — Sohel0415

This could be another work around of your problem.

function getBirthDateInCarbon($date){

    $count = substr_count($date,'.');
    if($count==1){
        return \Carbon\Carbon::createFromFormat('d.m', $date);//default year will be current year
    }
    return \Carbon\Carbon::createFromFormat('d.m.Y', $date);
}

There is probably a more simple solution, tested this and it works

    $date = [null, null, null];
    $data = explode('.', "25.10");

    foreach ($data as $key => $da) {
        $date[$key] = $da;
    }

    $date = Carbon::createFromDate($date[2], $date[1], $date[0]);
