Upload image in public folder - laravel

Question

I am trying to insert image in database using laravel 5.4. It works. But when I search that directory then it does not appear there. I also want to validate only images should be upload and size.
Thanks for advance.
My Controller function is here
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use DB;
use Hash;
use App\User;
class regController extends Controller
{
public function create(Request $request)
{
$this-> validate(request(),[
'name' => 'required',
'email'=> 'required',
'type' => 'required',
'image' => 'required',
'password' => 'required|confirmed|min:6',
]);
$request['password'] = bcrypt($request -> password);
$User = new User($request->input()) ;
if($file = $request->hasFile('image')) {
$file = $request->file('image') ;
$fileName = $file->getClientOriginalName() ;
return Storages::putFile('public/images',$request->file('image'));
$destinationPath = public_path().'images/' ;
$file->move($destinationPath,$fileName);
$User->image = $fileName ;
}
$user =
User::create(request(['name','email','type','image','password']));
return redirect('login');
}

Answer 1

try this :
// Validation
$this->validate($request, [
'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,bmp,png|max:10240' // size in kelobytes this equals 10 mb
]);
$User = new User() ;
$User->password = bcrypt($request->password);
$User->name = $request->name;
$User->type = $request->type;
$User->email = $request->email;
$filename = $this->getFileName($request->image);
$request->image->move(base_path('public/images'), $filename);
$User->image = $fileName;
$$User->save();
return back()->with('success','Image Upload successful');
I just forgot to show you how to implement getFileName function to generate a unique filename sorry about that, in your controller you can define it as protected method like so:
protected function getFileName($file)
{
return str_random(32) . '.' . $file->extension();
}

I think you are tryin to do smth like this:
public function fileUpload(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
]);
$image = $request->file('image');
$input['imagename'] = time().'.'.$image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$destinationPath = public_path('/images');
$image->move($destinationPath, $input['imagename']);
$this->postImage->add($input);
return back()->with('success','Image Upload successful');
}
