Laravel get uploaded image on CKEDITOR - php

Question

when i use from ckeditor to upload image and attach that on post my upload image function in controller work fine without any problem, but when i want to return uploaded image to that, ckeditor can't get that, for example this is my code:
Controller:
public function uploadImageContent()
{
$this->validate(request(), [
'upload' => 'mimes:jpeg,jpg,gif,png'
]);
$file = request()->file('upload');
$filename = $file->getClientOriginalName();
$year = Carbon::now()->year;
$imagePath = "/uploads/post_images/{$year}/";
if (file_exists(public_path($imagePath) . $filename)) {
$filename = Carbon::now()->timestamp . '.' . $filename;
}
$file->move(public_path() . $imagePath, $filename);
$url = $imagePath . $filename;
return "<script>window.parent.CKEDITOR.tools.callFunction(1,'{$url}','')</script>";
}
this function work fine and i dont get any error on console or network
return "<script>window.parent.CKEDITOR.tools.callFunction(1,'{$url}','')</script>";
should be return path, but dont work.
view:
<script>
$(function () {
CKEDITOR.replace('description', {
height: '200px',
extraPlugins: 'forms',
filebrowserUploadUrl:'/dashboard/administrator/attachImage',
filebrowserImageUploadUrl:'/dashboard/administrator/attachImage'
});
});
</script>
route:
Route::group(['namespace' => 'Dashboard', 'prefix' => 'dashboard'], function () {
$this->group(['prefix' => 'administrator'], function () {
...
$this->post('/attachImage', 'ContentsController#attachImage');
...
});
ContentsController:
class ContentsController extends Controller
{
...
public function attachImage()
{
$this->uploadImageContent(request()->all());
}
}

Answer 1

Your code did not work for me. What I observed is, you are not embedding the CKEditorFuncNum (which server receives as POST variable) at the place of 1 as the first parameter to callFunction(). I replaced the 1 with $request->CKEditorFuncNum and then I used return statement instead of echo and it all works.
Here's your code:
echo "<script>window.parent.CKEDITOR.tools.callFunction(1,'{$url}','')</script>";
and
Here's my code:
return "<script>window.parent.CKEDITOR.tools.callFunction('{$request->CKEditorFuncNum}','{$url}','')</script>";
I'm on Laravel 5.8
Hope it helps others.

using echo instead of return resolve my problem:
echo "<script>window.parent.CKEDITOR.tools.callFunction(1,'{$url}','')</script>";
