I have simple Form:
<form method="post" action="{{ route('company.store') }}">
Logo: <br>
<input name="logo" type="file"><br>
In my controller i try to save image with
$file = $request->file('logo')->store('avatars');
but i have error
"Call to a member function store() on null"
dd($request->file('logo'); shows 'null'
How to reach file to save it?
To upload a file you need to add enctype="multipart/form-data" to you opening form tag:
<form method="post" action="{{ route('company.store') }}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
If you don't include it then only the file name will be submitted and will cause
$request->file('logo')
to return null because it isn't a file it's a string.
storage to public directory with php artisan storage:link, but i can't show images from there. If i use <img src="{{ asset ('storage/app/avatars/LOW6Fc2TBH8UoexcXLntQkzncXSDN6OsIt7KLbiG.jpeg') }}"> image doesn't shows. What i do wrong?uploading file need a enctype="multipart/form-data"
<form action="{{ route('company.store') }}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"
class="form-material">
{{csrf_field()}}
<div class="form-body">
<h3 class="card-title">upload image</h3>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">image 1</label>
<input type="file" name="image_path" class="form-control">
</div>
</div>
</form>
Your Controller should look like this .
public function store(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request,['image_path'=> 'required|image']);
$company = new Company();
if($request->hasFile('image_path'))
{
$company->image_path= $request->file('image_path')->store('company','public');
}
$company->save();
return back()->with('success', 'Done!');
}
$company->image_path which should be the name of file which is actually stored in public folder.
phph45.tmp because of file object of laravel but your example returns file name with the path, but most of we need only filename so i have used $request->file('image')->hashName() and it is working, thanks.
