Answer 1

Give it a try
$data = [];
if($request->hasfile('user_sharing_image'))
{
foreach($request->file('user_sharing_image') as $key=>$file)
{
$name=$file->getClientOriginalName();
$file->move(public_path().'/files/', $name);
$data[$key] = $name;
}
}
$file= new Detail();
$file->title = $request->title;
$file->info = $request->info;
$file->user_id = Auth::user()->id;
$file->user_sharing_image=json_encode($data);
$file->save();

Answer 2

You are getting this error because $data is not defined.
Before foreach loop you can declare it as $data = array();

Answer 3

i think you should use files method to return array of files :
foreach($request->files('user_sharing_image') as $file)

Hello fellow developers
This will work properly
$files = $request->allFiles('imgs');
foreach ($files as $key => $img) {
# code...
$filename = request()->getSchemeAndHttpHost() . '/assets/images/users/upload/profile/photos/' . time() . '.'. $img->extension();
$img->move(public_path('/assets/images/users/upload/profile/photos/'), $filename);
$photos = UserPhoto::create([
'user_id' => $user->id,
'name' => $filename
]);
}
return response()->json([
'status' => true,
'data' => 'Photos Uploaded Successfully!!'
]);
