Laravel 5.5 - Cant Set/Get data from sqlserver 2008R2 (always return 500)

Question

I have problem with my laravel and sqlserver. Recently no problem with php pod because Ive use this sqlserver on my yii2 project and it work well.

try {
    DB::connection()->getPdo();
    if(DB::connection()->getDatabaseName()){
        echo "Yes! Successfully connected to the DB: " . DB::connection()->getDatabaseName();
    }
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    die("Could not connect to the database.  Please check your configuration.");
}

I also have tried db connection and it returned "Yes! Successfully connected to the DB: MyDB".

This is my controller

public function postsignup(Request $request){
        $this->validate($request, [
            'username' =>'required',
            'email' =>'required',
            'password' =>'required',
        ]);
        try{
            $users = new User;
            $users->id = '15';
            $users->username = $request->input('username');
            $users->password_hash = bcrypt($request->input('password'));
            $users->email = $request->input('email');
            $users->save();
            return redirect('/')->with('response','register success');
        }
        catch(\PDOException $e){
            echo $e->getMessage();
        }
    }

my model

 public $timestamps = false;
    protected $fillable = [
        'username', 'email', 'password_hash',
    ];
    protected $hidden = [
        'password', 'remember_token',
    ];

this is my view

Route::post('/signup', array(

));

Route::get('/signup', array(
    'as' => 'account-create',
    'uses' => 'UserController@getsignup'
));

This code are used to my signup. First, user fill the signup input field then hit register button to save their data to database but I know something wrong with my connection with database because this 500 error not appear if I comment $users->save() . I also have tried to retrive data from database with $users = User::all(); and this 500 error appear. I hope some one ever faced this error and help me to solve this error so I can continue my work. Fyi I already do debug everywhere so I guess my codes are ok.

Answer 1

After 3 days finally I know why this 500 comes out. I recently tried to check db connection with error handling and it returned success massage, but when I tried to migrate schema from database, my cmd stop to respond, I realize something wrong with my db conf in config/database.php

'sqlsrv' => [
    'driver' => 'sqlsrv',
    'host' => 'my_IP',
    'port' => 'my_Port',
    'database' => 'DbName',
    'username' => 'Db_Username',
    'password' => 'Db_Password',
    'charset' => 'utf8',
    'prefix' => 'pos.',
],

the problem is very simple -_-, prefix contain "." . I remove it and everything work perfectly. huh awkward moment, thanks @madalinivascu for your fast respond +1 for you
