I wish that when receiving an email after it passes 24hrs it shows the date and not the time ago as per the image

Question

I’m using the : briannesbitt/Carbon

I use this code to render what I wish

<?= \Carbon\Carbon::create($mail->created_at)->locale('pt')->diffForHumans(); ?> atrás

The same prints equal to the image below:

What I wish is the following: After 24 hours the email arrives in the inbox, the same print the creation date instead of "1 day ago" or "1 week ago" in case the "1 hour ago" is correct, and what is stated "1 week ago", should be the creation date example 17/02/2021.

Answer 1

Just implement a condition that checks if the difference is greater than 24h. Something like this:

$diff = \Carbon\Carbon::create($mail->created_at)->locale('pt');

if ($diff->diffInHours() > 24) {
  echo $diff->format("d/m/Y H:i:s");
} else {
  echo $diff->diffForHumans();
}
