Cant store image in Db Laravel - php

Question

I tried to store the image in DB along with some other data in another table ,but I get
"message": "Undefined variable $filenameA"
//for picture refrences
if (!empty($request->picture_a)) {
$fileA = $request->file('picture_a');
$extensionA = $fileA->getClientOriginalExtension();
$filenameA = 'picture_a' . '_' . time() . '.' . $extensionA;
$fileA->storeAs('uploads/picture_refrences', $filenameA);
$data['picture_a'] = 'public/uploads/' . $filenameA;
}
if (!empty($request->picture_b)) {
$fileB = $request->file('picture_b');
$extensionB = $fileB->getClientOriginalExtension();
$filenameB = 'picture_b' . '_' . time() . '.' . $extensionB;
$fileB->storeAs('uploads/picture_refrences', $filenameB);
$data['picture_b'] = 'public/uploads/' . $filenameB;
}
if (!empty($request->picture_c)) {
$fileC = $request->file('picture_c');
$extensionC = $fileC->getClientOriginalExtension();
$filenameC = 'picture_c' . '_' . time() . '.' . $extensionC;
$fileC->storeAs('uploads/picture_refrences', $filenameC);
$data['picture_c'] = 'public/uploads/' . $filenameC;
}
This is what I used and it was working when I used it to store in public directory now since I tried to store in storage it does not upload images

you can use this code, it is working and tested
$image = $request->file('picture_a');
if (isset($image))
{
$currentDate = Carbon::now()->toDateString();
$imageName = $currentDate.'-'. uniqid() .'.'. $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
if (!file_exists('uploads/photos')){
mkdir('uploads/photos',0777,true);
}
$image->move('uploads/photos',$imageName);
}
