Laravel: The file was not uploaded due to an unknown error

Question

I am trying to upload a file to two different locations. The lcoations being /2x/ adn /3x/. It uploads the file on 3x but doesn't on 2x and throws this error:

The file was not uploaded due to an unknown error

Here is what i am doing:

$photo = $request->file('photo');

    if (isset($photo)) {
        if ($photo != null || $photo != '') {

            $imageSize = getimagesize($photo);
            $resolution = $imageSize[0] . 'x' . $imageSize[1];

            if ($resolution == '300x300' || $resolution == '450x450') {

                if (!file_exists(base_path('uploads/custom_avatar'))) {
                    mkdir(base_path('uploads/custom_avatar'), 0777, true);
                }

                $resolution = "3x";

                $uploadPath = base_path('uploads/custom_avatar/' . $resolution . '/');

                $otherImageResolution = '2x';
                $otherImagePath = base_path('uploads/custom_avatar/' . $otherImageResolution . '/');
                //echo $otherImagePath;exit;
                // saving image
                $fileName = $child->id . '_' . time() . '.png';

                $photo->move($uploadPath, $fileName);
                $photo->move($otherImagePath, $fileName);

                // creating records
                $childImage = Images::addPhoto($child->id, $fileName, $resolution);
                $otherImage = Images::addPhoto($child->id, $fileName, $otherImageResolution);

                if ($childImage && $otherImage) {
                    $result = Child::createChildResponseData($child);
                    \Log::info('Child avatar added Successfully' . json_encode($childImage));
                    return response()->json([
                        'status' => $this->SUCCESS,
                        'response' => $result,
                    ], $this->SUCCESS);
                }

Any help?

Check your code if your file upload code is running two times.

I was facing the same issue & then I find that my file upload code is running two times.

after commenting one of them it's working fine.

You can try this:

$request->file('photo')->move($destination_path, $file_name);

Add DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR between path and filename if needed and copy that file at new location

copy($destination_path.$file_name, $new_path.$new_file_name);

Check your code if your file upload code is running two times. You can check this part of the code. Make sure you type it correctly and not repeat it twice.

   // Original size upload file
    $section_image_file->move($folder, $section_image_name);

Check if you call any method (like $file->getSize()), because it calls the move method too.

I had a similar case where I was using this code:

if ($_FILES && isset($_FILES['files'])) { 
            return new UploadedFile(
            $_FILES['files']['tmp_name'][0],
            $_FILES['files']['name'][0],
            $_FILES['files']['type'][0],
            $_FILES['files']['size'][0],
            $_FILES['files']['error'][0],
            true
        );
    }

changing first line to:

if ($_FILES && $_FILES['files']['tmp_name'][0] !== '') {

fixed my problem.

Hope it helps someone
