getClientOriginalName() error while trying to upload image gallery - php

Question

I'm currently learning laravel and I'm stuck at uploading image gallery & header image to a specific folder. This is my controller code: (I'm uploading images on "edit" page)
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
$findObject = Accommodation::find($id);
$findObject->update($request->all());
Gallery::destroy('objects_id', $id);
foreach ($request['img'] as $img) {
$gallery = new Gallery();
$gallery->objects_id=$id;
$gallery->img=$img;
$gallery->save();
$file[0] = $request->file;
$name = time() . $file[0]->getClientOriginalName(); // prepend the time (integer) to the original file name
$file[0]->move('uploads', $name); // move it to the 'uploads' directory (public/uploads)
// // create instance of Intervention Image
$img = Image::make('uploads/'.$name)->resize(300,200);
$img->save(public_path().'/uploads/'.$name);
}
And this is my view for uploading gallery & header image:
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputFile">Index image:</label>
<input type="file" name="headerImage" value="{{$object->headerImage}}">
<img src="{{asset('FrontAssets/img/smjestaj/')}}/{{$object->headerImage}}" style="width: 100px;">
<p class="help-block">Image that will be displayed on index page.</p>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputFile">Image gallery</label>
<input type="file" name="img[]" multiple>
<p class="help-block">Choose x images for that will be displayed on gallery page.</p>
And it displays me this error:
Call to a member function getClientOriginalName() on null
Note: I have "enctype="multipart/form-data" in my form.
This is what I get when i do dd();
I hope I described my problem correctly, if I need to add anything else please let me know. Thanks in advance!

As per your html
<input type="file" name="headerImage" value="{{$object->headerImage}}">
and
<input type="file" name="img[]" multiple>
Try changing
From
foreach ($request['img'] as $img) {
$gallery = new Gallery();
$gallery->objects_id=$id;
$gallery->img=$img;
$gallery->save();
$file[0] = $request->file;
$name = time() . $file[0]->getClientOriginalName(); // prepend the time (integer) to the original file name
$file[0]->move('uploads', $name); // move it to the 'uploads' directory (public/uploads)
// // create instance of Intervention Image
$img = Image::make('uploads/'.$name)->resize(300,200);
$img->save(public_path().'/uploads/'.$name);
}
To
if($request->file('img'))
{
foreach ($request->file('img') as $key => $file) {
$gallery = new Gallery();
$gallery->objects_id=$id;
$gallery->img=$file;
$gallery->save();
$name = time() . $file->getClientOriginalName();
$destination = base_path() . '/public/uploads';
$file->move($destination, $name);
}
}
if($request->file('headerImage'))
{
$name = time() . $request->file('headerImage')->getClientOriginalName();
$destination = base_path() . '/public/uploads';
$request->file('headerImage')->move($destination, $name);
}
