laravel 5.4 upload image

Question

My controller code for upload file in laravel 5.4:

if ($request->hasFile('input_img')) {
    if($request->file('input_img')->isValid()) {
        try {
            $file = $request->file('input_img');
            $name = rand(11111, 99999) . '.' . $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
            $request->file('input_img')->move("fotoupload", $name);
        } catch (Illuminate\Filesystem\FileNotFoundException $e) {

        }
    }
}

Image was successfully uploaded but the code threw an exception :

FileNotFoundException in MimeTypeGuesser.php line 123

The file is there any fault in my code or is it a bug in laravel 5.4, can anyone help me solve the problem ?

My view code:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="{{url('admin/post/insert')}}">
    {{ csrf_field() }}
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="imageInput">File input</label>
        <input data-preview="#preview" name="input_img" type="file" id="imageInput">
        <img class="col-sm-6" id="preview"  src="">
        <p class="help-block">Example block-level help text here.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="">submit</label>
        <input class="form-control" type="submit">
    </div>
</form>

Answer 1

Try this code. This will solve your problem.

public function fileUpload(Request $request) {
    $this->validate($request, [
        'input_img' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
    ]);

    if ($request->hasFile('input_img')) {
        $image = $request->file('input_img');
        $name = time().'.'.$image->getClientOriginalExtension();
        $destinationPath = public_path('/images');
        $image->move($destinationPath, $name);
        $this->save();

        return back()->with('success','Image Upload successfully');
    }
}

You can use it by easy way, through store method in your controller

like the below

First, we must create a form with file input to let us upload our file.

{{Form::open(['route' => 'user.store', 'files' => true])}}

{{Form::label('user_photo', 'User Photo',['class' => 'control-label'])}}
{{Form::file('user_photo')}}
{{Form::submit('Save', ['class' => 'btn btn-success'])}}

{{Form::close()}}

Here is how we can handle file in our controller.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class UserController extends Controller
{

  public function store(Request $request)
  {

  // get current time and append the upload file extension to it,
  // then put that name to $photoName variable.
  $photoName = time().'.'.$request->user_photo->getClientOriginalExtension();

  /*
  talk the select file and move it public directory and make avatars
  folder if doesn't exsit then give it that unique name.
  */
  $request->user_photo->move(public_path('avatars'), $photoName);

  }
}

That’s it. Now you can save the $photoName to the database as a user_photo field value. You can use asset(‘avatars’) function in your view and access the photos.
