Question

I tried some code to store an image in the database, but it's not working. So i'm enough confused to do that because i am a beginner in laravel.
Anyone can help me to solve my problem?
Here is what i'm currently doing:
// store image
$this->validate($request, [ 'image' => 'image', ]);
if($request->hasFile('image')) {
$image = $request->file('image');
$filename = time() . '.' . $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
Image:make($image)->resize(145, 170)->save(public_path('/images' . $filename));
$image->save();
};

Answer 2

the $image is not an instance of your App\Image model but an instance of UploadedFile class
the Image class is a PHP class for images
try it this way if you the attribute you want to store the path to is path
// store image
$this->validate($request, [ 'image' => 'image', ]);
if($request->hasFile('image')) {
$image = $request->file('image');
$filename = time() . '.' . $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
Image::make($image)->resize(145, 170)->save(public_path('/images' . $filename));
$imageInstance = new \App\Image();
$imageInstance->path = '/images' . $filename;
$imageInstance->save();
};
