SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1364 Field 'phone' doesn't have a default
value (SQL: insert into `users` (`name`, `email`, `location`, `password`,
`steps`, `incubation_days`, `updated_at`, `created_at`) values (ilamini

2017-03-01 14:11:54, 2017-03-01 14:11:54))
Can someone point me to where this phone field is coming from.
Below my Register Controller Class.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\User;
use App\paring_by_location;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\RegistersUsers;
class RegisterController extends Controller
{
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Register Controller
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This controller handles the registration of new users as well as their
| validation and creation. By default this controller uses a trait to
| provide this functionality without requiring any additional code.
|
*/
use RegistersUsers;
/**
* Where to redirect users after registration.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $redirectTo = '/home';
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest');
}
/**
* Get a validator for an incoming registration request.
*
* #param array $data
* #return \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator
*/
protected function validator(array $data)
{
return Validator::make($data, [
'location' => 'required|min:5',
'name' => 'required|max:255',
'password' => 'required|min:6|confirmed',
'email' => 'required|email|max:255',
]);
}
/**
* Create a new user instance after a valid registration.
*
* #param array $data
* #return User
*/
protected function create(array $data)
{
$phDay = rand(2,8);
$user = User::create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'location' => $data['location'],
'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
'steps' => 'settings',
'incubation_days' => $phDay
]);
paring_by_location::create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'location' => $data['location'],
]);
event(new \App\Events\UserReferred(request()->cookie('ref'), $user));
return $user;
}
}
and Below is my HomeController that i think may be Interfering with the Register Controller.
public function AccountSettings(Request $request)
{
$id = Auth::user()->id;
$user = User::findOrFail($id);
$this->validate($request, [
'account_name' => 'required|string|min:5',
'account_number' => 'required|digits:10',
'bank_name' => 'required|string|min:3',
'phone' => 'required|digits:11'
]);
$input = $request->all();
$user->update(array('steps' => 'notification'));
$update = $user->fill($input)->save();
return redirect()->route('home');
}
also is my USER MODEL TAHT has the protected field
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password', 'location','steps','incubation_days','phone','bank_name','account_name','account_number',
];
So I want to understand why it is returning an error when i did not include the phone in the register controller

Answer 1

You should set nullable() or default() value for the phone field. It should look like this in migration for users table:
$table->string('phone')->nullable();
Or make the phone field required:
protected function validator(array $data)
{
return Validator::make($data, [
'location' => 'required|min:5',
'name' => 'required|max:255',
'password' => 'required|min:6|confirmed',
'email' => 'required|email|max:255',
'phone' => 'required'
]);
}
And add it to create() method:
create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'location' => $data['location'],
'phone' => $data['phone']
]);
