Unable to save base 64 Image in Laravel 8 - laravel

Question

I am trying to save base64 image that is coming from the ajax post (blade file). Below is the code that I am using to save the data but it is giving 500 error.
public function add_ref_images_first(Request $request){
$fileName = "";
$end_url = "";
$count = 0;
$folder_name = 'PUBP' . time();
foreach ($request->images as $data){
$image_64 = $data['src']; //your base64 encoded data
$extension = explode('/', explode(':', substr($image_64, 0, strpos($image_64, ';')))[1])[1]; // .jpg .png .pdf
$replace = substr($image_64, 0, strpos($image_64, ',')+1);
//
// // find substring fro replace here eg: data:image/png;base64,
//
$image = str_replace($replace, '', $image_64);
$image = str_replace(' ', '+', $image);
$ref_image_id = 'PUBR'.time().$count++.'.'.$extension;
$fileName = base64_decode($image)->storeAs($folder_name, $ref_image_id , ['disk' => 'my_uploaded_files']);
if($imageName){
$end_url = $end_url.$imageName.',';
}
}
return response()->json(['url' => $end_url, 'id' => '1']);
}
Is there issue with the code?

Answer 1

instead of the line
$fileName = base64_decode($image)->storeAs($folder_name, $ref_image_id , ['disk'
=> 'my_uploaded_files']);
you can do :
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
Storage::put($ref_image_id, base64_decode($image), 'local');
because basically you were trying storeAs on a string value, storeAs works on $request->file('nameFromForm')
