Both function are same and the store function are running perfectly but update function have some errors
public function store(Request $request)
{
$employee = new Employee;
$employee->phone = $request->emp_num;
$employee->name = $request->emp_name;
$employee->email = $request->emp_email;
$employee->address = $request->emp_add;
if ($request->has('emp_image')) {
$image = $request->file('emp_image');
$filename = $image->getClientOriginalName();
$savePath = env('UPLOAD_PATH');
$image->move($savePath, $filename);
$employee->image = $request->file('emp_image');
}
$employee->save();
return redirect()->route('employee.index')
->with('success','Employee has been created successfully.');
}
public function update(Request $request, employee $employee)
{
$employee->name = $request->emp_name;
$employee->email = $request->emp_email;
$employee->phone = $request->emp_num;
$employee->address = $request->emp_add;
if ($request->has('emp_img')) {
$image = $request->file('emp_img');
$filename = $image->getClientOriginalName();
$savePath = env('UPLOAD_PATH');
$image->move($savePath, $filename);
$employee->image = $request->file('emp_img');
}
$employee->update();
return "Updated";
return redirect()->route('employee.index')
->with('success', $request->emp_name.' Employee data has been Updated successfully.');
}
The error
Call to a member function getClientOriginalName() on null

To store data with image
public function store(Request $request)
{
$category = new Category();
$imageName = time().'.'.$request->image->extension();
$imageName = $request->file('image')
->storeAs('images/category_photo', $imageName, 'public');
$category->name = $request->name;
$category->image = $imageName;
$category->save();
if ($category) {
return redirect()->route('category.index')
->with('success', 'Category Added Successfully');
}
}
To edit data with images and delete the existing image
public function update(Request $request, Category $category)
{
$category->name = $request->name;
if ($request->file('image')) {
$imageName = time().'.'.$request->image->extension();
Storage::delete('public/'.$category->image);
$category->image = $request->file('image')
->storeAs('images/category_photo', $imageName, 'public');
}
$save = $category->save();
if ($save) {
return redirect()->route('category.index')
->with('success', 'Category Updated Successfully');
}
}
