Artisan Tinker output looks different to video
Hi All,
I've quite new to programming and have been following the laracasts tutorial. I've reached a point where the video started using Artisan Tinker and I was wondering why the output in the video looks very different to the one in my console?
Is this due to the console emulator I'm using? I'm using ConEmu in PowerShell Admin mode and am using MySQL instead of SQLite.
Also, is there a way to work directly with MySQL in php artisan? The video shows you can work directly with the SQLite database via Tinker so I was wondering if it was possible to do the same?
Thanks :)

Hi,
If you mean that the colours are different, it could be set in your console option. If you mean that the text is different, it's because on video is used older PHP version. You probably using PHP 5.6 where is novelty of writing arrays :) But you don't have to be afraid, it's doing some things :)

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I was more talking about the text. e.g. the video has numbers on each line and the output looks different too but if it's simply due to a newer version of PHP then that's fine.
Also, is there a way to directly work with MySQL via Tinker?

@flimp I think you have a newer version of the PsyShell, so don't worry. If it detects numbers, it won't put it in quotation marks ;)

Your code shows that you are working with the database, you just did a query and showed the result.
If your screenshot is using sqllite then just change your database drivers in .env file

The Laracasts video uses an older version of Laravel, and thus an older version of Psy Shell, that's why.
Your console looks just like mine.
