$file = $request->file('image');
$file_count= count($file); //for updating multiple images
for ($i=0; $i < $file_count; $i++) {
$imagesize = $file[$i]->getClientSize();
$imageexten = $file[$i]->getClientOriginalExtension();
$product_image_count = count($request->productimagename);
for ($i=0; $i < $product_image_count; $i++) {
if($file_count != 1) {
$new_name = $request->productimagename[$i].$i.".".$imageexten;
} else {
$new_name = $request->productimagename[$i].".".$imageexten;
}
$product_image_path ='images/frontendimage/product_image/'.$new_name;

if ($request->has('unit_images'))
{
$promotion = [];
foreach ($request->file('unit_images') as $key => $file) {
$filenameWithExt = $file->getClientOriginalName();
$filename = pathinfo($filenameWithExt, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
$extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
$fileNameToStore = uniqid() . '.' . $extension;
$path = $file->storeAs("$directory/unit_images/$b/$unit_num", $fileNameToStore, 'public');
$this->validate($request, [
'images' => 'dimensions:min_width=250,min_height=250'
]);
$b_id = $request->building_name;
$unitimg = UnitImage::where('unit_id', '=', $unit_store_id)->get();
$new=strlen($unitimg);
if ($new!='2') {
foreach ($unitimg as $get2) {
$get2->delete();
}
$nn=New UnitImage();
$nn->images = $path;
$nn->unit_id = $unit_store_id;
$nn->save();
}
if ($new=='2') {
$nn = New UnitImage();
$nn->images = $path;
$nn->unit_id = $unit_store_id;
$nn->save();
}
}
}

Input Field -
<input type="file" name="images[]" class="form-control" multiple required />
Controller -
$imagesName = array();
$imagesPath = array();
if($files=$request->file('images')){
foreach (Input::file('images') as $file) {
$name = strtolower($file->getClientOriginalName());
$name = preg_replace('/\s+/', '_', $name);
$img = Image::make($file);
$path = 'your/path/'.$name;
$img->save($path);
$imagesName[] = $name;
$imagesPath[] = $path;
}
}
This will upload multiple images to your server and you will get uploaded image names from $imagesName[] and path from $imagesPath[].
Now you can use those according to your BD structure.
