Laravel 5.3 - Data inserting issue in MySQL 5.7.1 - mysql

Question

While inserting data from Laravel 5.3 it doesn't show up in the MySQL 5.7.1 database. I was following a tutorial, the teacher was using Laravel 5.2 Is that an issue?
Any help would be appreciated.
public function store(Request $request)
{
// validate the data
$this->validate($request, array(
'title' => 'required|max:255',
'body' => 'required'
));
// store in the database
$post = new Post;
$post->title = $request->title;
$post->body = $request->body;
$post->save();
// Session::flash('success', 'The blog post was successfully save!');
return redirect()->route('posts.show', $post->id);
}
Adding the whole code here...
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Post;
use Session;
class PostController extends Controller
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function index()
{
$posts = Post::all();
return view('posts.index')->withPosts($posts);
}
/**
* Show the form for creating a new resource.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function create()
{
//
return view('posts.create');
}
/**
* Store a newly created resource in storage.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function store(Request $request)
{
// validate the data
$this->validate($request, array(
'title' => 'required|max:255',
'body' => 'required'
));
// store in the database
$post = new Post;
$post->title = $request->title;
$post->body = $request->body;
$post->save();
return redirect()->route('posts.show', $post->id);
}
/**
* Display the specified resource.
*
* #param int $id
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function show($id)
{
$post = Post::find($id);
return view('posts.show')->withPost($post);
}
/**
* Show the form for editing the specified resource.
*
* #param int $id
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function edit($id)
{
}
/**
* Update the specified resource in storage.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param int $id
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
}
/**
* Remove the specified resource from storage.
*
* #param int $id
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function destroy($id)
{
//
}
}

Make sure your $fillable array is populated.
<?php
namespace App;
class Post extends Model
{
protected $fillable = ['title', 'body'];
...
}
