Inserting Empty String or Null Images in Laravel - php

Question

I can't insert a string or a null value in the database resulting in the following error:
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1364 Field 'paxsafety_video'
doesn't have a default value (SQL: insert into pax_safeties
(paxsafety_image, updated_at, created_at) values
(Desert_1543390457.jpg, 2018-11-28 15:34:17, 2018-11-28 15:34:17))
Controller
$this->validate($request, [
'paxsafety_image.*' => 'nullable|image|mimes:jpeg,jpg,png',
'paxsafety_video.*' => 'nullable|mimes:mp4,mov,ogg | max:20000'
]);
$paxSafety = [];
$paxSafetyVideo = [];
if ($request->has('paxsafety_image') && $request->has('paxsafety_video'))
{
//Handle File Upload
foreach ($request->file('paxsafety_image') as $key => $file)
{
// Get FileName
$filenameWithExt = $file->getClientOriginalName();
//Get just filename
$filename = pathinfo( $filenameWithExt, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
//Get just extension
$extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
//Filename to Store
$fileNameToStore = $filename.'_'.time().'.'.$extension;
//Upload Image
$path = $file->storeAs('public/paxsafety_folder',$fileNameToStore);
array_push($paxSafety, $fileNameToStore);
}
foreach ($request->file('paxsafety_video') as $key => $file)
{
// Get FileName
$filenameWithExt2 = $file->getClientOriginalName();
//Get just filename
$filename = pathinfo( $filenameWithExt2, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
//Get just extension
$extension2 = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
//Filename to Store
$fileNameToStore2 = $filename.'_'.time().'.'.$extension2;
//Upload Image
$path = $file->storeAs('public/paxsafety_folder',$fileNameToStore2);
array_push($paxSafetyVideo, $fileNameToStore2);
}
$fileNameToStore = serialize($paxSafety);
$fileNameToStore2 = serialize($paxSafetyVideo);
}
else
{
$paxSafety[]='noimage.jpg';
$paxSafetyVideo[]='noimage.jpg';
}
foreach ($paxSafety as $key => $value) {
$paxSafetyContent = new PaxSafety;
$paxSafetyContent->paxsafety_image = !empty($value) ? $value : '';
foreach ($paxSafetyVideo as $key => $values) {
$paxSafetyContent->paxsafety_video = !empty($values) ? $values : '';
}
$paxSafetyContent->save();
}

Answer 1

change in schema PaxSafety set default nullable.
$table->string('paxsafety_video')->nullable()->change();
otherwise CHANGE IN CONTROLLER..
$paxSafetyContent = new PaxSafety;
$paxSafetyContent->paxsafety_image = !empty($values) ? $values : 'noimage.jpg';
$paxSafetyContent->paxsafety_video = NULL;
$paxSafetyContent->save();
one or more tricks is add $fillable columns in PaxSafety Model
protected $fillable = ['paxsafety_image','paxsafety_video'];
now in controller used like that using create model method
PaxSafety::create(['paxsafety_image' => !empty($values) ? $values : 'noimage.jpg']);

Answer 2

Try this.
$paxSafetyContent = new PaxSafety;
$paxSafetyContent->paxsafety_image = !empty($paxSafety) ? $paxSafetyVideo : '';
$paxSafetyContent->paxsafety_video = !empty($paxSafetyVideo) ? $paxSafetyVideo : '';
$paxSafetyContent->save();
In the PaxSafety add the following:
protected $casts = [
'paxsafety_image' => 'array',
'paxsafety_video' => ' array'
];
Also make sure both are in the $fillable ariae in the model.
This will allow you to save the image and video URLs as an array in the DB.
Hope this helps.
