I have a problem about creating a record for attendance of an employee using DATE() and TIME() with NOW() in laravel. I have the table Attendance with column to store the record into database.

 $table->increments('id');
 $table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
 $table->date('attendance_date')->nullable();
 $table->string('scan_in_location')->nullable();
 $table->string('scan_out_location')->nullable();
 $table->time('scan_in_time')->nullable();
 $table->time('scan_out_time')->nullable();
 $table->time('work_hour')->nullable();
 $table->time('work_hour_total')->nullable();
 $table->time('lunch_break')->default('01:00:00');
 $table->integer('scan_in_status')->nullable();
 $table->integer('scan_out_status')->nullable();
 $table->timestamps();

When the employee press CHECK IN on mobile, the record to will stored in column (user_id, scan_in_time, scan_in_location, scan_in_status) but when i only do

$attendance = new Attendance();

 if ($this->user->attendance()->save($attendance))
 return response()->json([
 'success' => true,
 'attendance' => $attendance
 ]);
 else
 return response()->json([
 'success' => false,
 'message' => 'Sorry, check in attendance could not be added'
 ], 500);

This code runs smooth with the account based on user_id. But when i press Create, i want to stored (user_id, scan_in_location, scan_in_time, scan_in_status) and this code return MariaDB version

//declare variable for taking current date - time
 $user_id = request('user_id');

 //check attendance using user_id
 $res = Attendance::select('id')
 ->where('user_id' , '=' , $user_id)
 ->where('attendance_date', '=' , DB::RAW('DATE(NOW())'))
 ->where('user_id' , '!=' , null)
 ->where('scan_in_time', '!=' , null)
 ->where('scan_out_time', '=', null)->get()->count();

 //set status 0 - Absent, 1 - On time, 2 - Late, 3 - very late, 4 - On leave
 $attendance_status = Attendance::where('user_id', '=' , $user_id)
 ->select(DB::RAW("CASE WHEN TIME(NOW()) >= '08:30:00' AND TIME(NOW()) < '09:00:00' THEN '2' WHEN TIME(NOW()) > '09:00:00' THEN '3' ELSE '1'))
 ->value('scan_in_status');

 if($res > 0)
 $res = DB::RAW("UPDATE attendances SET scan_out_time = NOW(),scan_out_location = ? ,work_hour = TIMESTAMPDIFF(MINUTE, scan_in_time, scan_out_time,lunch_break), work_hour_total = TIMESTAMPDIFF(MINUTE, scan_in_time, scan_out_time) WHERE `user_id` = ? AND NOT scan_in_time IS NULL AND scan_out_time IS NULL", [$user_id, $user_id, $scan_out_location]);

 return response()->json(
 array(
 'success' => true,
 'user_id' => $user_id,
 'action' => 'SCAN_OUT',
 'scan_out_location' => $scan_out_location,
 'date' => date('Y/m/d'),
 'time' => date('H:i:s')
 )
 );
 else
 $res = DB::RAW("UPDATE attendances SET scan_in_time = NOW(), scan_in_location = ?, scan_in_status = ?
 WHERE attendance_date = DATE(NOW()) AND `user_id` = ?", [$scan_in_location, $scan_in_status, $user_id]);

 return response()->json(
 array(
 'success' => true,
 'user_id' => $user_id,
 'action' => 'SCAN_IN',
 'scan_in_location' => $scan_in_location,
 'date' => date('Y/m/d'),
 'time' => date('H:i:s')
 )
 );
 

Can anyone give me some advises on this check in attendance using real time DATE(NOW()) and TIME(NOW)). Thank you.
