Upload image laravel

At a quick glance, it looks mostly good. However, the HTML form needs to know that you want to send files. Change the form opening to this:

{{Form::open(array('url' => 'foto/upload', 'files' => true))}} 

Also, you call the file image in the form, but then you call it file when you receive it. Change to this:

$file = Input::file('image'); 

Hopefully, that's enough to make it all work!

Route:

$router->post('/add_rewards', ['as' => 'add_reward', 'uses' => 'Controller@addReward', ]); 

View to upload the Image:

1) add [ enctype="multipart/form-data” ] to the HTML form. example:

<form class="form-horizontal" action="{{route('add_reward')}}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> 

2) add the image file upload [ type=file ] example:

<div class="form-group"> <div class="col-xs-12"> <div class="form-material form-material-primary floating input-group"> <input class="form-control btn-file" type="file" id="reward-image" name="reward-image"> <span class="input-group-addon"><i class="fa fa-file-excel-o"></i></span> </div> </div> </div> 

Controller:

// check if file was uploaded if ($request->hasFile('reward-image')) { // get the file object $file = $request->file('reward-image'); // set the upload path (starting form the public path) $rewardsUploadPath = '/uploads/rewards/images/'; // create a unique name for this file $fileName = str_replace([' ', ':'], '-', Carbon::now()->toDateTimeString()) . '-' . str_random(5) . '.' . $file->getClientOriginalExtension(); // move the uploaded file to its destination $file->move(public_path() . $rewardsUploadPath, $fileName); // save the file path and name $filePathAndName = $rewardsUploadPath . $fileName; } 

Save the Image on the object:

$reward = new Reward(); $reward->image = $image; $reward->save(); 

View to display the image:

<td class="text-center"> <img src="{{$reward->image}}" width="40px;"/> </td> 

your controller should be

$filename = ""; $extension = ""; //check if your form sent some data if (Input::hasFile('image')) { // list of extensions allowed to be uploaded $allowedext = array("png", "jpg", "jpeg", "gif"); //store the file received from the form in a var $photo = Input::file('image'); //set destination path where you will store your photo $destinationPath = public_path() . '/uploads'; //generate random filename $filename = str_random(12); //get the extension of the file uploaded by the user $extension = $photo->getClientOriginalExtension(); //validate if the user supplied file's extension matches allowed extension if (in_array($extension, $allowedext)) { //if every thing goes fine move the file $upload_success = Input::file('photo')->move($destinationPath, $filename . '.' . $extension); } 

in your form :

{{Form::open(array('url' => 'foto/upload', 'files' => true))}} {{Form::file('image')}} {{Form::submit('Upload')}} {{Form::close()}}
