Laravel server, upload to public_html rather than upload in project folder - laravel

Question

I've been trying surfing around this site looking for answers, but nothing works for me, i want to upload an image that save in public_html folder, instead of saving it in project folder (i seperate the project folder and put all public file in public_html folder). Already bind the public.path but it returns to my project folder, not public_html one.
My image upload controller
public static function uploadSubmit($request, $type, $for)
{
if($request->hasFile('photos'))
{
$allowedfileExtension=['jpg','png'];
$files = $request->file('photos');
foreach($files as $file)
{
$extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
$check=in_array($extension,$allowedfileExtension);
//dd($check);
if($check)
{
$idx = Image::create([
'type' => $type,
'ids' => $for,
'ext' => $extension,
])->id;
$filename = $idx . '.' . $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
$filename = $file->storeAs(public_path('images/'), $filename);
}
}
}
}
i already do the public path bind like this in public_html/index.php
$app->bind('path.public', function() {
return __DIR__;
});
Thank you!

First, add config to filesystem.php on config folder:
'disks' => [
...
'public_html' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => public_path(),
'visibility' => 'public',
],
...
],
Second, store image with code:
$file->storeAs('images', $filename, 'public_html')
P/S: Remember to configure the correct path for the public_html directory:
$app->bind('path.public', function(){
return __DIR__.'/../../public_html';
});

The public disk is intended for files that are going to be publicly accessible. By default, the public disk uses the local driver and stores these files in storage/app/public.
When using the local driver, all file operations are relative to the root directory defined in your filesystems configuration file. By default, this value is set to the storage/app directory. Therefore, the following method would store a file in storage/app/file.txt:
Storage::disk('local')->put('file.txt', 'Contents');
Or in your case in storage/app/images/file.txt
$file->storeAs(public_path('images/'), $filename);
You can change where these files are stored by changing the filesystems configuration file.
'local' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => public_path(),
],
