Image is saving as tmp file - php

Question

I'm trying to save image using Laravel
Image is saved as tmp file in database, why so?
the image saved as C:\xampp\tmp\phpA3EB.tmp in the database
how can I fix this?
in the controller:
public function update(Request $request, Bank $bank)
{
if ( isset($request->photo) && $request->photo ) {
$request['image'] = UploadImage($request->file('photo'), 'bank', '/banks');
#unlink(public_path('/uploads/banks/') . $bank->image);
}
$updated = $bank->update($request->all());
$bank->updateTranslations([
'name' => $request->get('name_en'),
]);
return $updated ?
redirect()->route('banks.index')->with('success', trans('messages.updateTrue')) :
redirect()->back()->with('warning', trans('messages.updateFalse'));
}
function UploadImage($inputRequest, $prefix, $folderNam)
{
$imageName = $prefix.'_'.time().'.'.$inputRequest->getClientOriginalExtension();
$destinationPath = public_path('/uploads/'.$folderNam);
$inputRequest->move($destinationPath, $imageName);
return $imageName ? $imageName : false;
}

Answer 1

please try this :
public function UploadImage($image, $path)
{
$type = $image->getMimeType();
$ext = substr($type, 6, strlen($type) -1 );
$picName = uniqid() . '.' .$ext;
$image->move(public_path($path), $picName);
return $path . '/' . $picName;
}
}

I too struggled with mine for quite a while. However, I realized that I was doing everything okay but how I saved/created it on my database was the problem.
Here is what worked.
public function store(Request $request)
{
$request->validate([
'title'=>'required',
'features'=>'required',
'website'=>'required',
'img'=>'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
]);
$input=$request->all();
$imagePath=$request->file('img');
$imageName=time().'.'.$imagePath->getClientOriginalExtension();
$imagePath->move('uploads',$imageName);
$input['img']=$imageName;
Portfolio::create($input);
return Redirect::to('portfolio')->with('success','Great! Portfolio item created successfully.');
}
