Get created_at date in different formats with Laravel in PHP 5.2+. Put this code in your model (for example models/users.php) and in your views do {{ $user->short_created_at }}

model.php

public function get_short_created_at()
  {
	    $date = $this->get_attribute('created_at');
	   	if (is_string($date)){
	   		$dateObject = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $date);
	   		return $dateObject->format('Y-m-d');
	   	}
    	return $date;
	}

in your view you can do this : {{ $user->created_at->format('Y-m-d') }} , isn't that much easier?
