Fixing Laravel Migration Failure in Windows Docker: Connecting to MySQL Container

Problem: When running php artisan migrate in a Laravel project on Windows using Docker containers for PHP and MySQL, the command cannot find the database, resulting in a

SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed

error.

Illuminate\Database\QueryException  : SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: 未知  (SQL: select * from ***)
  at E:\project\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Database\Connection.php:669
  > 669|             throw new QueryException(
  670|                 $query, $this->prepareBindings($bindings), $e    671|             );
  672|         }

Exception trace:

1   Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOException::("SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: 知 ")
    E:\project\vendor\doctrine\dbal\lib\Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOConnection.php:31
2   PDOException::("PDO::__construct(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: 知 ")

Please use the argument -v to see more details.

Cause: In Windows git‑bash the hostname of the MySQL container cannot be resolved, so the Laravel application cannot connect to the database.

Solution: Write a small shell wrapper (named phpartisan) that runs the desired php artisan command inside the running container, then invoke this wrapper instead of calling php artisan directly.

#!/usr/bin/env sh

# 进入容器 执行相应php artisan命令
docker exec -i 容器名称 sh -c "cd /项目的容器路径 && php artisan $*"

Usage: Replace commands like php artisan migrate with phpartisan migrate (or phpartisan * for any artisan command) to execute the migration successfully.
