SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1364 Field 'photo' doesn't have a default value in laravel 5.5

Question

I am trying to upload users photo during registration, but I am getting this error, I searched online and founded possible solutions did not work for me. I am using sentinel package for advanced authentication. Please anyone help me . Here is my controller-

 public function postRegister(Request $request){
    $request->validate([
        'first_name' => 'required|max:255',
        'last_name' => 'required|max:255',
        'user_name' => 'unique:users|max:255',
        'email' => 'required|unique:users|email|max:255',
        'password' => 'required|min:6|confirmed',
        'phone' => 'required|numeric',
    ]);
    //upload image
    if ($file = $request->file('photo')) {
        $fileName = $file->getClientOriginalName();
        $extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension() ?: 'png';
        $folderName = '/uploads/users/';
        $destinationPath = public_path() . $folderName;
        $safeName = str_random(10) . '.' . $extension;
        $file->move($destinationPath, $safeName);
        $request['photo'] = $safeName;
    }

    // $user = Sentinel::registerAndActivate($request->all());
    $user = Sentinel::registerAndActivate($request->all());
    // dd($user);
    //$activation = Activation::create($user);

    $role = Sentinel::findRoleBySlug('member');

    $role->users()->attach($user);
    //$this->sendEmail($user, $activation->code);
    //return redirect('/login');
    return ('You have seccsessfully registered. Now login to start');
}

And form input-(with enctype="multipart/form-data" top of the form)

 <div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6">
      <div class="sponsor-row">
        <label for="sponsor_input"><i class="fa fa-tags"></i></label>
        <input type="text" name="sponsor" id="sponsor_input" class="sponsor-input" placeholder="Sponsor"></input>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-6">
      <div class="photo-row">
        <label for="photo_input"></label>
        <input type="file" name="photo" id="photo" class="photo-input"></input>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

My User Model is:

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable; use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable { use Notifiable;

/**
 * The attributes that are mass assignable.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $fillable = [
    'first_name', 'last_name', 'user_name','email', 'password', 'phone', 'location', 'sponsor', 'photo',
];

/**
 * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $hidden = [
    'password', 'remember_token',
];

}

My Migration Code is:

Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->increments('id');
        $table->string('first_name')->nullable();
        $table->string('last_name')->nullable();
        $table->string('user_name');
        $table->string('email');
        $table->string('password');
        $table->string('phone');
        $table->string('location');
        $table->string('sponsor');
        $table->binary('photo')->nullable();
        $table->text('permissions')->nullable();
        $table->timestamp('last_login')->nullable();
        $table->timestamps();

        $table->engine = 'InnoDB';
        $table->unique('email');
    });

just set a default value for your photo column in your table typically null — RAUSHAN KUMAR
Here is my User Model- protected $fillable = [ 'first_name', 'last_name', 'user_name','email', 'password', 'phone', 'location', 'sponsor', 'photo', ]; — Rashed Hasan
And here is migration - Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->increments('id'); $table->string('first_name')->nullable(); $table->string('last_name')->nullable(); $table->string('user_name'); $table->string('email'); $table->string('password'); $table->string('phone'); $table->string('location'); $table->string('sponsor'); $table->binary('photo')->nullable(); — Rashed Hasan

if you are using latest version of laravel go to config/databse.php and in connection there is mysql array:-

'mysql' => [
        'driver' => 'mysql',
        'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
        'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
        'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
        'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
        'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
        'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
        'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
        'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
        'prefix' => '',
        'strict' => false, 
        'engine' => null,
    ],

By default strict is true and set to make it false.(2nd last key in mysql array) Hope it helps!
