I tried this

Easy steps:

Direct download: https://github.com/briannesbitt/Carbon/blob/master/src/Carbon/Carbon.php

Put Carbon.php at application/libraries

Create Mcarbon.php

<?php

if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/Carbon.php';

use CarbonCarbon;

class Mcarbon extends Carbon



Put this in your Controller

$this->load->library ( 'Mcarbon' );


Call Carbon method in any function. Example:

<?php

$dt =Mcarbon::createFromDate(2018,2,13,null);
var_dump($dt->year);
var_dump($dt->month);
var_dump($dt->day);
var_dump($dt->hour);


Here is another method for Codeigniter 3:

Install using Composer (I don't explain here how install Composer):

composer require nesbot/carbon ^2

Update Codeigniter config file to autoload the component:

$config['composer_autoload'] = FALSE;

$config['composer_autoload'] = FCPATH.'/vendor/autoload.php';

Create a Codeigniter library for Carbon:

<?php

if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

use CarbonCarbon;

public function __construct($time = null, $tz = null)

  parent::__construct($time, $tz);


Load the library in your controller, model...:

$this->load->library('carbon_lib');

Use the library as you would with Carbon:

$carbon = $this->carbon_lib;
$carbon->addDay();
//Get the SQL date and date/time format
$carbon->toDateString();
$carbon->toDateTimeString();
//And to create an immutable object
$carbonImmutable = $this->carbon_lib->toImmutable();
...

See Carbon website for more details.
