In DB Col Name('publish') varchar format d/m/Y for Example 30/1/2020 when try to get dates less than 30/1/2020 get any date less than days
for example
->where('publish','<','30/01/2020')
29/2/2020 less than 30/1/2020 so i get any date under 30 by day not month or year
publish?Carbon::parse('30/01/2020')then you can compare it as date easily
