Call to a member function getClientOriginalName() on array laravel - php

Question

I'm trying to post an image from a one to many relationship while also doing the CRUD (create part), but I am having some trouble doing it. I keep on getting this error,Call to a member function getClientOriginalName() on array, whenever I try to use associate to define the relationship together with user_info with user_image table. So what should I do?
Here are my codes:
createController:
public function create1(){
return view('create1');
}
public function store1(Request $request){
$this->validate($request, [
'input_img' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
]);
$user_info = Session::get('data');
$UserImage = new UserImage($request->input()) ;
if($file = $request->hasFile('input_img')) {
$file = array();
$fileName = $file->getClientOriginalName() ;
$destinationPath = public_path().'/images' ;
$file->move($destinationPath,$fileName);
$UserImage->userImage = $fileName ;
$UserImage = UserImage::create(['file' => $request->file('input_img')]);
$UserImage->user_infos()->associate($user_info);
}
$UserImage->save() ;
return redirect('/home');
}
HomeController(this is where I print out my information)
public function getInfo($id) {
$data = personal_info::where('id',$id)->get();
$data3=UserImage::where('user_id',$id)->get();
return view('test',compact('data','data3'));
blade.php (how I show the image in view)
#foreach ($data3 as $object9)
<img width="100" height="100" src="{!! $object9->signature !!}">
#endforeach
UserImage model(in table I used binary format to store in DB)
class UserImage extends Eloquent
{
protected $fillable = array('userImage','user_id');
public function user_infos() {
return $this->belongsTo('App\user_info', 'user_id', 'id');
}
class user_info extends Eloquent
{
protected $fillable = array('Email', 'Name');
protected $table = user_infos';
protected $primaryKey = 'id';
public function UserImages() {
return $this->hasOne('App\UserImage','user_id');
}
}
create1.blade.php(this is how I upload the image)
<form class="form-horizontal" method="post" action="{{ url('/userUpload')}}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<div class="form-group">
<label for="imageInput" class="control-label col-sm-3">Upload Image</label>
<div class="col-sm-9">
<input data-preview="#preview" name="input_img" type="file" id="imageInput">
<img class="col-sm-6" id="preview" src="" ></img>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-6-offset-2">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Save">
</div>
</div>
</form>

Answer 1

I think you have a problem inside store1() method. You sould not re-declare $file.
if($file = $request->hasFile('input_img')) {
$file = array();
$fileName = $file->getClientOriginalName();
Instead get the file using the file() method:
if($request->hasFile('input_img')) {
$file = $request->file('input_img');
$fileName = $file->getClientOriginalName();
See more on the Laravel's requests documentation.

Answer 2

Read through your logic in the store1 method again... You are setting the $file variable to an empty array and then trying to call the getClientOriginalName() method on it:
$file = array();
$fileName = $file->getClientOriginalName();

Answer 3

i use this in laravel 9
$allFile =count($request->files);
for($i=0; $i<$allFile; $i++){
dd($request->files[$i].getClientOriginalName());
}
