How to get multiple images in laravel api? - php

Question

I am creating a laravel API for complaints. This code is not saving multiple images in the database and I have to show multiple images in JSON response in an array. I am using array_get but it's not working for me. I have tried many things but it is not saving images in database. I have no idea. I am saving images in other table.
public function Complains(Request $request)
{
$response = array();
try {
$allInputs = Input::all();
$userID = trim($request->input('user_id'));
$cordID = trim($request->input('cord_id'));
$phone = trim($request->input('phone'));
$address = trim($request->input('address'));
$description = trim($request->input('description'));
// $image = array_get($allInputs, 'image');
$validation = Validator::make($allInputs, [
'user_id' => 'required',
'cord_id' => 'required',
'phone' => 'required',
'address' => 'required',
'description' => 'required',
]);
if ($validation->fails()) {
$response = (new CustomResponse())->validatemessage($validation->errors()->first());
} else {
$checkRecord = User::where('id', $userID)->get();
if (count($checkRecord) > 0) {
$complainModel = new Complains();
$complainModel->user_id = $userID;
$complainModel->cord_id = $cordID;
$complainModel->phone_no = $phone;
$complainModel->address = $address;
$complainModel->description = $description;
$saveData = $complainModel->save();
if ($saveData) {
if ($request->file('image')) {
$path = 'images/complain_images/';
// return response()->json(['check', 'In for loop']);
foreach ($request->file('image') as $image) {
$imageName = $this->uploadImage($image, $path);
$ImageSave = new ComplainImages();
$ImageSave->complain_id = $complainModel->id;
$ImageSave->image_url = url($path . $imageName);
$ImageSave->save();
}
}
$jsonobj = array(
'id' => $userID,
'name' => $cordID,
'email' => $phone,
'phone' => $address,
'description' => $description,
);
return Response::json([
'Exception' => "",
'status' => 200,
'error' => false,
'message' => "Complain Registered Successfully",
'data' => $jsonobj
]);
}
}else{
$response = (new CustomResponse())->failResponse('Invalid ID!');
}
}
} catch (\Illuminate\Database\QueryException $ex) {
$response = (new CustomResponse())->queryexception($ex);
}
return $response;
}
public function uploadImage($image, $destinationPath)
{
$name = rand() . '.' . $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$imageSave = $image->move($destinationPath, $name);
return $name;
}

There is a mistake in looping allImages. To save multiple images try below code
foreach($request->file('image') as $image)
{
$imageName = $this->uploadImage($image, $path);
// other code here
}
Check if you are reaching the loop
return response()->json(['check': 'In for loop'])
