When i dd($request->all()); in store function in controller, i get all other values but not image.. It even doesn't shows image=null when i dd(); array:8 [ "_token" => "C27oLkk8wDTcBnZDA38nPCte4SY18HqXqxcFDcrI" "name" => null "dateofbirth" => null "gender" => "Male" "address" => null "email" => null "phone" => null "course" => null ]
Iam using ajax request Although i input the image it shows the image is required.. What am i doing wrong here??
$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
'name' => 'required|min:2',
'dateofbirth' => 'required|date',
'gender' => 'required',
'address' => 'required',
'email' => 'required|email',
'phone' => 'required|numeric',
'course' => 'required',
'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg',
]);
if($validator->fails()) {
return response()->json([
'errors' => $validator->errors(),
]);
}
$name = $request['name'];
$dateofbirth = $request['dateofbirth'];
$gender = $request['gender'];
$address = $request['address'];
$email = $request['email'];
$phone = $request['phone'];
$course = $request['course'];
if($request->hasFile('image')) {
$img_name = time() . '.' .$request->file('image')->getClientOriginalExtension();
$destinationPath = public_path('/assets/images/');
$request->file('image')->move($destinationPath, $img_name);
$image = $img_name;
}
Student::create([
'name' => $name,
'dateofbirth' => $dateofbirth,
'gender' => $gender,
'address' => $address,
'email' => $email,
'phone' => $phone,
'course' => $course,
'image' => $image,
]);

Answer 1

You can try this
$validator = Validator::make($request, [
'name' => 'required|min:2',
'dateofbirth' => 'required|date',
'gender' => 'required',
'address' => 'required',
'email' => 'required|email',
'phone' => 'required|numeric',
'course' => 'required',
'image' => 'required|file|mimetypes:image/jpeg,image/png',
]);
if($validator->fails()) {
return response()->json([
'errors' => $validator->errors(),
]);
}
//store image
$path = $request->image->store('images');
//it will store your images at `storage/app/public/images` folder with dynamically generated image name, be sure create images folder there
Student::create([
'name' => $request->name,
'dateofbirth' => $request->dateofbirth,
'gender' => $request->gender,
'address' => $request->address,
'email' => $request->email,
'phone' => $request->phone,
'course' => $request->course,
'image' => $path,
]);
Execute this command from command line
php artisan storage:link
it will create symbolic link of storage/app/public to public/storage folder.
now you can use your image in view like this
{{asset('storage/images/test.jpeg')}}
If you have to read that file in controller then you can use it like this
Storage::disk('public')->get('images/test.jpeg');
Always store your files in storage folder. All public files should be stored at storage/app/public
