Question

I try to send attachement files but i get
Cannot use object of type Illuminate\Http\UploadedFile as array
I use laravel 5.4
Someone know why i'm getting this error ?
( I don't upload the file into a directory, i just want to send the file who was requested on my controller )
Hope someone could help , best regards :)
Here my controller :
public function postSendMassive(Request $request){
$files = $request->file('uploads');
$emails = Structure::where('type_structure_id', 4)->pluck('adresse_email_structure');
$subject = $request->subject;
$bodyMessage = $request->texte;
foreach($files as $file) {
$files[] = [
'file' => $file->getRealPath(),
'options' => [
'mime' => $file->getClientMimeType(),
'as' => $file->getClientOriginalName()
],
];
}
Mail::to('test#gmaIL.com')->send(new MassiveEmail($subject , $bodyMessage , $files));
return back()->with('status', "Email envoyé");
}
here my build mail :
public function build()
{
$subject = $this->subject;
$bodyMessage = $this->bodyMessage;
$files = $this->files;
$email = $this->markdown('email.MassiveMail',compact('bodyMessage'))
->subject($subject.'-'.'FFRXIII Licences & Compétitions');
foreach($this->files as $file) {
$email->attach($file['file'],$file['options']);
}
return $email;
}

Answer 1

This is because $request->file('uploads') returns an object and you're trying iterate over it with foreach
If you want to upload multiple files, make sure you're doing something like this:
<input type="file" name="uploads[]" multiple />
And iterate over uploaded files:
foreach ($request->uploads as $file)

Answer 2

This works!
if($request->hasFile('files')){
foreach ($request->files as $file) {
//get file name with extenstion
$fileNameWithExt = $file->getClientOriginalName();
//get just filename
$fileName = pathinfo($fileNameWithExt, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
//get extension
$extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
//file to store
$fileNameToStore = $fileName.'_'.time().'.'.$extension;
//upload to store
$path = $file->storeAs('${your_storage_path}', $fileNameToStore);
}
}
