i face a problem when i register a user through web service API project, and it was working but suddenly this problem appeared ..

there an error appeared when create the user:

QueryException in Connection.php line 647:
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1364 Field 'name' doesn't have a default value (SQL: insert into `users` (`updated_at`, `created_at`) values (2017-04-26 23:09:20, 2017-04-26 23:09:20))
and what is showed to me that the eloquent create method ignore the fillable attributes.

What i did in my code :

i have a method that do the registration for a user :

public function register()
    {
        $userData  = request()->all();

        $validator = \Validator::make($userData, [
            'name'                  => 'required|alpha_spaces|max:255',
            'email'                 => 'required|email|max:255|unique:users',
            'phone'                 => 'required|phone_number',
            'password'              => 'required|min:6',
            // 'img'                   => 'required'
            // 'address_coordinates'   => 'required'
        ]);

        if ($validator->fails())
        {
            $errors = $validator->failed();
            return response()->json([
                    'message'   => 'validation error',
                    'errors'    => $errors,
                    'code'      => getMsgCode('validationErrors')
            ]);
        }

        $api_token                      = str_random(60);
        while ( count( User::where('api_token',$api_token)->first()) != 0 ) {                    
            $api_token = str_random(60);
        }

        $userData['api_token']            = $api_token;
        $userData['status']               = 1;
        $userData['dashboard_access']     = 0;
        $userData['role']                 = 'member';

        try {
            $user               = User::createUser($userData);
            $user['auth_token'] = $api_token;

        } catch (Exception $e) {
            
            return response()->json([
                    'message'   => 'something went wrong',
                    'code'      => getMsgCode('somethingWrong')
            ]);
        }

        return response()->json([
                'data'      => [
                        'user'        => $user,
                ],
                'message'   => 'success',
                'code'      => getMsgCode()
        ]);
    }

The code above in the try/catch block has the createUser method which it is in the User model :

public static function createUser($userData)
    {
        if( request()->hasFile('img') ) $userData['img'] = User::uploadImage($userData['img']);

        $userData['password']                       = bcrypt($userData['password']);
        $createdUser                                = User::create($userData);

        return $createdUser;
    }

and of course i made the fillable attributes for the User model :

    protected $fillable = [
         'name','email', 'password','img','gender','phone','address_ar','address_en',
'address_coordinates','role','dashboard_access','status','confirmed',
'confirmation_code','api_token','membership_id'
    ];

    protected $hidden = [
        'password', 'remember_token','confirmation_code','api_token',
        'membership_id', 'dashboard_access', 'confirmed',
        'membership_start_date'
    ];

    protected $appends = [
                    'waiting_products',
                    'waiting_services',
                ];

and there is some Accessors that i did recently in the User model and i don't know if they are related to this issue or not :

    protected function getArrayableAttributes()
    {
        if(request()->segment(1) == 'api'){

            foreach ($this->attributes as $key => $value) {
                if ($key == 'deleted_at') continue;

                if ( is_null($value) ) {
                    $this->attributes[$key] = '';
                }
            }
        }

        return $this->getArrayableItems($this->attributes);
    }

    public function getImgAttribute($value)
    {
        if(request()->segment(1) == 'api')
            return $value ? '/images/normal/'.$value : '';

        return $value;
    }

    public function getWaitingProductsAttribute($value)
    {
        return $this->products()->where('status',0)->where('product_type','product')->count();
    }

    public function getWaitingServicesAttribute($value)
    {
        return $this->products()->where('status',0)->where('product_type','service')->count();
    }

i saw some solution of making the strict mode of MYSQL to false in the _ /config/database.php_ file :

'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', ''),
            'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
            'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
            'prefix' => '',
            'strict' => true, // ========> make it to false <========
            'engine' => null,
        ],

but when i did it , there is no value entered the database except the timestamp values !!

• So anyone can tell me what happened here, where the problem and how can i solve it ?!
• and what this strict mode in mysql ?

and thanks :)
