Cannot upload images laravel - laravel

Question

I uploaded my files on my server, but I cannot change my root folder to public via the hosting company, so I moved the files from public to the httpdocs directory, but I have now an issue with uploading images, i made this path
$this->validate($request, [
'image' => 'image|nullable|max:1999'
]);
if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
$filenameWithExt = $request->file('image')->getClientOriginalExtension();
$filename = pathinfo($filenameWithExt, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
$extension = $request->file('image')->getClientOriginalExtension();
$fileNameToStore = $filename . '_' . Carbon::today()->toDateString() . '.' . $extension;
$request->file('image')->storeAs('/../Supplier/public/images', $fileNameToStore);
} else {
$fileNameToStore = 'noimage.jpg';
}
And when I submit my form I get this error
Path is outside of the defined root, path:
And to show the image after upload i have this code in html
<td><a download="retourmelding_{{$retour->firmaname}}" href="/storage/images/{{$retour->images}}" title="Foto">
<img alt="Foto" src="/storage/images/{{$retour->images}}">
</a></td>
But locally it works perfectly

Answer 1

Please try it:
$request->file('image')->storeAs(storage_path('images'), $fileNameToStore);
The directory definition you have made is incorrect.
../httpdocs/storage/images/ mean is [laravel directory]/httpdocs/storage/images/
Use helpers for directory defination: Helpers - Laravel

Answer 2

I would change the disk in "config \ filesystems.php" and put something like this:
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
'visibility' => 'public',
],

You can do that using the below code:
In config/filesystem.php
'my_file' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path(),
],
In controller
$fileNameToStore = $request->file('myfile');
$name = $fileNameToStore->getClientOriginalName();
Storage::disk('my_file')->PutFileAs('images', $fileNameToStore, $name);
For retrieving the image in view file using the route. Because of directly can not access the storage/images folder.
You need to create a new function in the controller.
use Auth, Storage, File, Response;
public function displayImage($filename)
{
$path = storage_path('images/' . $filename);
if (!File::exists($path)) {
abort(404);
}
$file = File::get($path);
$type = File::mimeType($path);
$response = Response::make($file, 200);
$response->header("Content-Type", $type);
return $response;
}
New Route add
Route::get('image/{filename}', 'YOURCONTROLLER#displayImage')->name('image.displayImage');
View( Retrieving image)
<img src="{{ route('image.displayImage',$image) }}" alt="" title="">
