I am trying to upload multiple images in laravel and facing issues as the same image is uploaded each time? - laravel

Question

The problem is that my loop only running and uploading the same first pic each time rather than uploading each other in a row one after one!
Here is my code of the form
{!! Form::file('photos[]', ['roles' => 'form', 'class' => 'form-control-file','multiple' => true]) !!}
Here is my code of the controller
$files=$request->file('photos');
foreach ($files as $file) {
$insert = new Images;
$insert->youth_fashion_images_category = $request->selectproduct;
$destinationPath = 'uploads/products';
$imageName = 'uploads/products/'.time().'.'.$file->getClientOriginalExtension();
$insert->Save();
$uid = $insert->id;
$file->move($destinationPath,$imageName);
$image = array(
'youth_fashion_images_img' => $imageName
);
Images::where('youth_fashion_images_id',$uid)->update($image);
}
return redirect('adminpanel/viewimages');

Answer 1

Try this code :
if($request->hasfile('photos'))
{
foreach($request->file('photos') as $image)
{
$destinationPath = 'uploads/products';
$imageName = 'uploads/products/'.time().'.'.$image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$image->move($destinationPath,$imageName);
$insert = new Images;
$insert->youth_fashion_images_category = $request->selectproduct;
$insert->youth_fashion_images_img = $imageName;
$insert->Save();
}
}

Answer 2

You should try this code.
if($request->hasfile('photos')) {
foreach($request->file('photos') as $image)
{
$destinationPath = 'uploads/products';
$name = 'uploads/products/'.time().'.'.$image->getClientOriginalName();
$image->move($destinationPath, $name);
$data[] = $name;
}
}
$insert= new Images;
$insert->youth_fashion_images_img = json_encode($data);
$insert->save();
json_encode to insert the multiple image names in one row.
So add $name in array $data[] = $name;.
I hope this will helps.
