Setting Values

You can set the datetime field type value with a timestamp.

$entry->example = date("U");

You can also use any string interpretable by the strtotime method.

$entry->example = "now";

$entry->example = "+2 days";

Lastly, you can also set the value with an instance of Carbon.

$entry->example = new Carbon;
