<input type="file" name="image[]" class="form-control" value="{{ $employee['image'] }}" multiple>
my route
Route::post('/people/employees/test/{id}', 'EmplController#test');
my controller
if($request->hasfile('image')){
foreach ($request->image as $image) {
$path = $image->getClientOriginalName();
$filename = time() . '-' . $path;
$image->storeAs('employees', $employee->id . '/' . $filename);
$image->move(public_path('employees'),$filename);
i inserted image here->$employee->image = $filename;
$employee->save();

Make an array, and implode it before insert to table, like :
$files = []; // an empty array
foreach($a as $b) {
$files[] = $b->name; // insert name to array
}
$files = implode(",", $files); // insert $files into your table
So you need to change on your code :
if($request->hasfile('image')){
$files = []; // make an array
foreach ($request->image as $image) {
$path = $image->getClientOriginalName();
$filename = time() . '-' . $path;
$files[] = $filename; // insert to array
$image->storeAs('employees', $employee->id . '/' . $filename);
$image->move(public_path('employees'), $filename);
}
$files = implode(",", $files); // insert $files into your table
}
