carbon start of week sunday and endOfWeek Saturday not working - laravel

Question

I need to select a particular users weekly top score. I am using Carbon and I forced Carbon startofWeek to SUNDAY and endOfWeek to SATURDAY.
Here is my DB data
id user_id score created_at updated_at
43 33 88 2020-02-23 00:00:00 NULL
44 33 15 2020-02-24 00:00:00 NULL
45 33 42 2020-02-24 00:00:00 NULL
46 33 86 2020-02-25 00:00:00 NULL
47 33 100 2020-02-04 00:00:00 NULL
Here is my code
$week = GameScore::select(max('score')
->where('created_at', '>=', Carbon::now()->startOfWeek(Carbon::SUNDAY))
->where('created_at', '<=', Carbon::now()->endOfWeek(Carbon::SATURDAY))
->where('user_id', $user->id)
->get();
According to my data I need to get score 88 as result , because this score is obtained on 23rd Feb Sunday which is this weeks starting and till today all other scores are not greater than this.

Answer 1

In your code you need to specify the date format when comparing,
Carbon::now()->endOfWeek(Carbon::SATURDAY)->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

Answer 2

$en = CarbonImmutable::now()->locale('en_US');
$ar = CarbonImmutable::now()->locale('ar');
// We still can force to use an other day as start/end of week
$start = $en->startOfWeek(Carbon::TUESDAY);
$end = $en->endOfWeek(Carbon::SATURDAY);
var_dump($ar->endOfWeek()->format('Y-m-d H:i'));
Is working for me

Answer 3

You can set the starting day of the week by using the Carbon static function setWeekStartsAt and also can use that to work out the end of week day.
public static function getWeekStartAndEndDates($date, $startDayIndex = Carbon::SATURDAY)
{
$date = Carbon::parse($date);
$date::setWeekStartsAt($startDayIndex);
$from = $date->startOfWeek();
$date::setWeekEndsAt($from->copy()->addDays(6)->dayOfWeek);
$to = $date->copy()->endOfWeek();
return ['from' => $from, 'to' => $to];
}
