Question

I am new in the laravel also in stackoverflow, I tried to configure database in my laravel application. but it is not working and always shows error to me. here is my database.php file.

database.php

<?php

return [

    /*

    | PDO Fetch Style
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | By default, database results will be returned as instances of the PHP
    | stdClass object; however, you may desire to retrieve records in an
    | array format for simplicity. Here you can tweak the fetch style.
    |
    */

    'fetch' => PDO::FETCH_CLASS,

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Default Database Connection Name
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Here you may specify which of the database connections below you wish
    | to use as your default connection for all database work. Of course
    | you may use many connections at once using the Database library.
    |
    */

    'default' => 'mysql',

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Database Connections

    |
    | Here are each of the database connections setup for your application.
    | Of course, examples of configuring each database platform that is
    | supported by Laravel is shown below to make development simple.
    |
    |
    | All database work in Laravel is done through the PHP PDO facilities
    | so make sure you have the driver for your particular database of
    | choice installed on your machine before you begin development.

    'connections' => [

        'sqlite' => [
            'driver'   => 'sqlite',

        'mysql' => [

    'redis' => [

            'database' => 0,
        ],

    ],

];

I am also attaching my .env files

APP_ENV=local
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_KEY=SomeRandomString

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=horsi
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

CACHE_DRIVER=file
SESSION_DRIVER=file
QUEUE_DRIVER=sync

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null

I also tried to configure my database like

'host'      => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
            'database'  => env('DB_DATABASE', 'horsi'),
            'username'  => env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'),
            'password'  => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),

But it is not working, anyone can help me to get the solution

Error: null in place of username and poassword

enter image description here

What error does it show? If you're trying to connect to a DB using localhost as host and root without password with MySQL Workbench, for example, are you able to connect? — Alexey Mezenin

Please dont use the mysql_ database extension, it is deprecated (gone for ever in PHP7) Specially if you are just learning PHP, spend your energies learning the PDO database extensions. Start here — RiggsFolly

Bad idea. Don't use mysql_. You using a framework with it's inner architecture. It uses PDO. Just check my answer. — Dinar

Try to add this line

'default' => env('DB_DEFAULT', 'mysql')

instead place of

 'default' => 'mysql'

And set DB_DEFAULT=mysql in .env file

You use default DB as 'default' => 'mysql'

But .env configs are going for pgsql in your config file.

So if you're going to use MYSQL, set this

'host'     => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'horsi'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),

for mysql section in your config.php
