How to connect Laravel with MySQL?

I updated my .env file with DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 and DB_PORT=3306, but php artisan migrate gives Connection refused error. What am I missing?

Vimal Kumar (Instructor) Official Answer

Make sure your local MySQL service is running via XAMPP or Docker. Also verify that DB_USERNAME is root and DB_PASSWORD matches your configuration. Run php artisan config:clear to flush cache.

What is the difference between let and const?

Does const make objects immutable, or does it only prevent variable re-assignment?

Vimal Kumar (Instructor)

const prevents variable re-assignment, but object properties inside can still be mutated unless you apply Object.freeze().
