Error: The given string could not be parsed as a date/time when Carbon::parse processes regional date strings
Goal: ensure that date inputs originating from diverse regional formats are correctly interpreted and displayed according to the application’s configured timezone without manual conversion.
Constraint: The app timezone is set via config('app.timezone') and Carbon parsing must respect it; however, the framework does not automatically adjust stored UTC dates for regional display.
Uncertainty: It is unclear whether a custom global scope can be implemented to auto‑convert retrieved date attributes to the app timezone.
Questions: 1) Can a custom global scope be implemented to auto‑convert retrieved date attributes to the app timezone? 2) Does Laravel provide a built‑in middleware to enforce timezone‑aware date parsing for incoming requests? 3) Is there a recommended approach to reconcile database‑stored UTC dates with regional display requirements without manual accessors?
