Carbon object to Unix timestamp based on timezone

I have a datetime string of format 'Y-m-d H:i:s', and datetime value as '2018-01-30 07:11:21'.

$carbon_obj = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s' , '2018-01-30 07:11:21','America/Chicago');

How do it get the Unix timestamp from this carbon object?

You can use Carbon::shiftTimezone to change the timezone without changing the dates and time.

$dt = Carbon::parse('2020-03-27');
dump($dt);   //2020-03-27 00:00:00.0 Asia/Kolkata (+05:30)
dump($dt->shiftTimezone('utc'));  //2020-03-27 00:00:00.0 UTC (+00:00)

just add timestamp at the back of your code.

$carbon_obj = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s' , '2018-01-30 07:11:21','America/Chicago')->timestamp;

or

$carbon_obj = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s' , '2018-01-30 07:11:21','America/Chicago');
$carbon_obj->timestamp;

If you have data missing error. missing it is the data your passed it not a complete date format.

Try this.

$timestp = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', Carbon::parse($trans['transaction_datetime']) ,Setting::get('timezone'))->timestamp;
