When upload image second time using same name using laravel 5 but showing old image on browser

Question

Before uploading check if file exists then delete this image and upload new image using laravel functionality but showing first uploaded image when hitting image url on browser.

I have face this issue when file name and file type are same.

Below my code

$destinationPath = "public/".$destinationPath;
            $extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
            if($file->isValid() && in_array($extension, $allowedExt)) {
                if (\File::exists($destinationPath.$fileName)) {
                    \File::delete($destinationPath.$fileName);
                }
                if($file->move($destinationPath, $fileName)) {
                    return true;
                }
            } return false;

Also I have cleared all cache and tried on another PC.

Following commands used to clear the cache.

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan route:clear

Please give me Any suggestions to resolve this issue.

You have a typo: \File::exists($destinationPath..$fileName Two dots — ExoticChimp

Add some debugging in around if (\File::exists($destinationPath..$fileName)) { \File::delete($destinationPath.$fileName); } to see if the file is actually being deleted — ExoticChimp

did you add debugging to see if the file is actually being deleted? what happens if you visit the file url in your browser? — ExoticChimp

why are you deleting it, why not just overwrite the file with the same name? Can you give the url where the image is saved? — ExoticChimp

I got that solution. Why not reflecting updated image due to on server side maintain cache this is feature provided by Amazon.

Than i have disabled this feature now its working fine.

I hope my solution really helpful to others who's face such that issue.
