Send Email with multiple images in Laravel9 - laravel

Question

I'm having problem that I would like to send Email with multiple images in Laravel9.
I wrote below code.
My goal is send Email with multiple images and
sametime each image file name stores into mysql's 'fileattach' column as photo1, photo2, photo3(one line)
Could someone correct my code please?
blade file
<div class="col-sm-6">
<input type="file" name="files[]" accept="file_extension|image/*|media_type" multiple>
</div>
Controller
public function saveContact(Request $request) {
$this->validate($request, [
'name' => 'required',
]);
if(count($files) > 0) {
foreach($files as $file) {
$message->attach($file->getRealPath(), array(
'as' => $file->getClientOriginalName(),custom name
'mime' => $file->getMimeType())
);
}
}
$contact = new Contact($request->all());
$contact->save();
\Mail::send('admin_email_tpl', //admin tpl
array(
'sno' => $request->get('sno'),
'name' => $request->get('name'),
'email' => $request->get('email'),
'files' => $request->post('files'),
), function($message) use ($request)
{
$message->from('123#123foobar.com');
$message->to('123#123foobar.com');
$message->subject('Thank You');
});

You are almost there, need to put the attachment code into callback method to mail.
public function saveContact(Request $request) {
$this->validate($request, [
'name' => 'required',
]);
//Get the $files array here
$files = [];
$contact = new Contact($request->all());
$contact->save();
\Mail::send('admin_email_tpl', //admin tpl
array(
'sno' => $request->get('sno'),
'name' => $request->get('name'),
'email' => $request->get('email'),
'files' => $request->post('files'),
), function($message) use ($request, $files)
{
$message->from('123#123foobar.com');
$message->to('123#123foobar.com');
$message->subject('Thank You');
if(count($files) > 0) {
foreach($files as $file) {
$message->attach($file->getRealPath(), array(
'as' => $file->getClientOriginalName(),//custom name
'mime' => $file->getMimeType())
);
}
}
});
}
