How to get a good answer

Search first: your question may already have an accepted answer.
Use a title that names the problem, e.g. "Laravel 12 migration fails on MySQL 8".
Paste the code you tried and the full error message, not a screenshot of it.
Say what you expected to happen and what happened instead.
Never share passwords, API keys or private data.
When an answer solves it, mark it as accepted so others can find it.

How do I connect Laravel 12 to MySQL on XAMPP?

I installed XAMPP and a fresh Laravel 12 project. What exactly should I put in the .env file to use MySQL instead of SQLite?

Set DB_CONNECTION=mysql, DB_HOST=127.0.0.1, DB_PORT=3306, DB_DATABASE=your_db, DB_USERNAME=root and leave DB_PASSWORD empty (XAMPP default).
