Uploading Images in laravel using Intervention - php

Question

i am tring to upload images in laravel 5.6 using intervention and its working perfectly, the only problem is the path it is storing on the database is like /var/www/Laravel/project/public/uploads/students/1534413021.jpg and what i want is for it to store it as /uploads/students/1534413021.jpg.
Here is my form
<form class="form-horizontal" method="post" action="{{ route('student.Avatar.submit',$student->id)}}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<div class="form-group ">
<label class="col-sm-2 control-label">Select Image To Upload:</label>
<div class="col-sm-10 {{ $errors->has('avatar') ? ' has-error' : '' }}">
<input type="file" name="avatar" value="{{ old('avatar') }}" class="form-control rounded">
#if ($errors->has('avatar'))
<span class="help-block">
<strong>{{ $errors->first('avatar') }}</strong>
</span>
#endif
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-4 col-sm-offset-2">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-rounded btn-block">Save changes</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
and here is the controller
public function uploadAvatar(Request $request, Student $student)
{
$validatedData = $request->validate([
'avatar' => 'required | mimes:jpeg,jpg,png,bmb,gif,svg',
]);
if ($request->hasFile('avatar')) {
$image = $request->file('avatar');
$fileName = time() . '.' . $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$location = public_path('uploads/students/'.$fileName);
Image::make($image)->resize(800,400)->save($location);
$studentUpdate = Student::where('id',$student->id)
->update([
'avatar'=>$location,
]);
if ($studentUpdate) {
return redirect()->route('students.profile',$student->id)->with('success','Student Profile Created Successfully');
}else{
return back()->withInput()->with('errors','Error adding new parent.');
}
}
return back()->withInput()->with('errors','PLease Select An Image.');
}

Answer 1

change your path while saving like this:
$location = public_path('uploads/students/'.$fileName);
To this:
$location = 'uploads/students/'.$fileName;
It will automatically go to public/$location and save the file and you will have only required string in database;

Answer 2

You should try this:
public function uploadAvatar(Request $request, Student $student)
{
$validatedData = $request->validate([
'avatar' => 'required | mimes:jpeg,jpg,png,bmb,gif,svg',
]);
if ($request->hasFile('avatar')) {
$image = $request->file('avatar');
$fileName = time() . '.' . $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$location = public_path('uploads/students/');
$uploadImage = Image::make($image->getRealPath())->resize(800,400);
$uploadImage->save($location.'/'.$fileName);
$imageName = public_path('uploads/students/'.$fileName);
$studentUpdate = Student::where('id',$student->id)
->update([
'avatar'=>$imageName,
]);
if ($studentUpdate) {
return redirect()->route('students.profile',$student->id)->with('success','Student Profile Created Successfully');
}else{
return back()->withInput()->with('errors','Error adding new parent.');
}
}
return back()->withInput()->with('errors','PLease Select An Image.');
}
