I keep on getting this error when I try to upload a pdf document file, does anybody have any idea how to solve this?
I had tried looking for similar problems but still can't solve it(eg: Upload pdf file using Laravel 5)
I tried doing dd() to see if the file have been uploaded and it did show the file name but the error said Call to a member function getClientOriginalName() on null, so now I'm kind of confused on what to do now.
Here are my codes, thanks in advance for helping.
Controller:
class CreateController extends Controller
{
public function create(){
return view('create');
}
public function store(Request $request){
$uniqueFileName = uniqid() . $request->get('upload_file')->getClientOriginalName() . '.' . $request->get('upload_file')->getClientOriginalExtension();
$request->get('upload_file')->move(public_path('files') . $uniqueFileName);
//dd($request);
return redirect()->back()->with('success', 'File uploaded successfully.');
}
create.blade.php
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" class="form-horizontal" method="post" action="{{ url('/user')}}">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<div class="form-group">
<label for="upload_file" class="control-label col-sm-3">Upload File</label>
<div class="col-sm-9">
<input class="form-control" type="file" name="upload_file" id="upload_file">
</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>
Route:
Route::get('/user/create','CreateController#create');
Route::post('/user','CreateController#store');
This enctype solved function call on the null problem
<form method="" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
You need to use the file() function to have access to your uploaded file
$request->file('upload_file')
use this code in your tag form enctype="multipart/form-data"
<form method="" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Try to put the file into a var.
$file = $request->file('upload_file');
And get the extension and name from it.
$uniqueFileName = uniqid() . $file->getClientOriginalName() . '.' . $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
Hope it helps.
The key to solving this problem is that you must write getClientOriginalName() function in the if clause just like that:
if($request->hasFile('logoImage')){
$logoImage = $request->file('logoImage');
$name = $logoImage->getClientOriginalName();
}
if($request->has('sound_file')) {
$image = $request->file('sound_file');
$filename = $image->getClientOriginalName();
request()->$image->move(public_path('images/users'), $filename);
$sounds->image = $request->file('sound_file')->getClientOriginalName();
}

I've looked at code from other people and try to implement the same thing, but the application could not store the image to the desire folder, would you please have a look at what the reason is? Thank you!
Here is my code for route:
Route::post('upload_pic', 'UploadController#storePhoto');
Here is my code for the php laravel template:
<div class="panel-body">
<form action="{{url('/upload_pic')}}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{{csrf_field()}}
<div class="form-group">
<label for="upload-user-photo">Upload Photos</label>
<input type="file" name="image" class="form-control" placeholder="Upload Student Image, Size:207(W)x408(H)">
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4">
<input class="btn btn-success" type="submit" value="Upload Student Photo" name="submit">
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
Here is my code in the controller:
public function storePhoto(Request $request){
$valid = $request->validate([
'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpg,png,jpeg,|dimensions:max_width=272,max_height=408,min_width=271,min_height=407'
]);
$data = new Postimage();
$file = $request->file('image');
$filename = $file->getClientOriginalName();
// dd($filename);
$file -> move(public_path('./public/img/student_photos'),$filename);
$data['image'] = $filename;
$data->save();
return redirect('/upload')->with('success', 'Photo Uploaded');
}
Your problem is somewhere here
$filename = $file->getClientOriginalName();
$file -> move(public_path('./public/img/student_photos'),$filename);
First, the file comprises only the file extension. Instead, you should have something like this $filename = 'name.' . $file->getClientOriginalName(); Notice the dot in 'name.'
Secondly, no need to add public to the file path string. So it should be $file->move(public_path('img/student_photos'),$filename);
Finally, make sure the upload folder exists and is writeable
Here is my controller
public function createAdmin()
{
$photo=$_FILES['bannerPic']['name'];
$tempname=$_FILES['bannerPic']['tmp_name'];
// echo $tempname." ".$photo;
move_uploaded_file($tempname, 'picture/banner/'.$photo);
$data=[
'sliderPic' => $photo,
];
dd($data);
// \App\Models\Banner::create($data);
// return view('Banner');
}
here is my route
Route::post('/BannerEdit', [App\Http\Controllers\BannerController::class,
'createAdmin']);
here is my blade form
<form action="{{ url('') }}/BannerEdit" method="post" class="col-12"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
#csrf
<div class="mb-3 col-12">
<label class="col-4 text-label form-label">Banner Photo*</label>
<input type="file" name="bannerPic" class="form-control input-rounded col-4 mb-3"
required>
</div>
<div class="mb-3 text-end">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Upload">
</div>
</form>
When i submit the data it Gives me an Error as
move_uploaded_file(picture/banner/favicon.jpg): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory
But this Directory Exists
And i checked with full pathof localhost then it does not supports http path
You need to use getcwd() function like this:
$dirpath = realpath(dirname(getcwd()));
So your controller code will be:
public function createAdmin()
{
$photo=$_FILES['bannerPic']['name'];
$tempname=$_FILES['bannerPic']['tmp_name'];
// echo $tempname." ".$photo;
$dirpath = realpath(dirname(getcwd()));
move_uploaded_file($tempname, $dirpath.'/'.$photo);
$data=[
'sliderPic' => $photo,
];
dd($data);
// \App\Models\Banner::create($data);
// return view('Banner');
}
let me know if it works.. if not then we'll modify $dirpath variable
PS: this solution will work on server. are you working on server or in localhost?
EDIT:
Other solution is to use below function to get proper directory structure:
$dirpath = public_path('picture/banner/');
When I am uploading an image to the form and returning it from the controller, the image name and extention are changing.I am a beggar, so if I make a mistake while asking a question, I would like to apologize.
This is my form:
<form action="{{ route('admin.slider.store') }}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
#csrf
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<label class="control-label">Image</label>
<input type="file" name="image">
</div>
</div
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Save</button>
</form>
This is my controller:
public function store(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'image' => 'required|mimes:jpeg,bmp,png,jpg',
]);
$image = $request->file('image');
return $image;
}
My image file name is :demo.jpg
Controller return result is like that:
C:\xampp\tmp\php5E86.tmp
This is the same result when I give another picture, only the last four characters are changing.
C:\xampp\tmp\phpF239.tmp
It is very helpful to know why I am getting .tmp file return.
use getClientOriginalName to get orginal file name
$request->image->getClientOriginalName()
To get file extension
$request->image->extension();
or
$name = $request->file('image')->getClientOriginalName();
$extension = $request->file('image')->extension();

I was working on a project and was trying to develop a file uploading system for skins.
When I tried to upload my skin, I was given "Call to a member function storeAs() on null"
public function uploadSkin(Request $request)
{
/* $request->validate([
'skins' => 'required|mimes:png|max:1024',
]); */
$storage_dir = storage_path('app/skins');
$request->file('skins')->storeAs($storage_dir, Auth::user->name . '.png');
return route('settings')->with('success', 'skin uploaded :)');
}
Form code:
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/settings">
#csrf
<br/>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="file" class="form-control-file" id="skins" name="skins" required>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Upload</button>
</form>
To store a file like an image or any kind of files you can use a code like this:
public function uploadSkin(Request $request){
$image = $request->file('skins');
if ($image != null) {
$image->move('uploads/skins/', Auth::user()->name . $image->getClientOriginalExtension());
}
return route('settings')->with('success', 'skin uploaded :)');
}
To uppload a file there are various ways in the laravel but for now you can try this to simply move your file to your directory:
if($files= $request->file('skins')){
$files->move('uploads/skins/', Auth::user->name . '.png');
}
Using Laravel 5.4, I'm tring to setup a form where a user can enter a food name and its image. While trying to upload a PNG or JPG image, I get the following Validation Error:
The image must be an image.
If I remove the validation for image, I get a FatalErrorException:
Call to a member function getClientOriginalExtension() on null
which is a helper function provided by Intervention/Image library. This could mean that the image didn't upload at all.
FORM
<form action="/hq/foods" method="POST">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="file" name="image">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success ">
ADD FOOD ITEM
</button>
</form>
CONTROLLER
public function store(Request $request) {
$this->validate($request, [
'name' => 'required|min:2|max:255',
'image' => 'required|image'
]);
$food_category = FoodCategory::find($request->food_category_id);
$food = new Food;
$food->name = $request->name;
$image = $request->file('image');
$filename = time() . '.' . $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$location = public_path('img/foods/' . $filename);
Image::make($image)->resize(800, 400)->save($location);
$food->image = $filename;
$food->save();
Session::flash('success',
'
<h4>Success!</h4>
<p>The food item has been added to the Menu.</p>
');
return back();
}
What am I missing?
To upload images you need to add:
enctype="multipart/form-data"
to your form so instead of:
<form action="/hq/foods" method="POST">
you should use
<form action="/hq/foods" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
If you use Laravelcollective
{!! Form::open(['method'=>'post','files' => true,'url'=>'/hq/foods']) !!}
OR
Using HTML
<form action="/hq/foods" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
you need to add enctype="multipart/form-data" in your from
