Laravel - Data not stored on database, image upload failed - php

Question

I have a post with title, texts & image. But I can't save the image path to database. Here is my code.
public function save(Request $request, Post $post)
{
$this->validate(request(),
[
'title' => 'required',
'image' => 'image|mimes:jpg,png,jpeg'
]);
if($request->hasFile('image'))
{
$file = $request->file('image');
$fileNameExt = $request->file('image')->getClientOriginalName();
$fileName = pathinfo($fileNameExt, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
$fileExt = $request->file('image')->getClientOriginalExtension();
$fileNameToStore = $fileName.'_'.time().'.'.$fileExt;
Image::make($file)->resize(600, 600)->save( public_path('media/' . $fileNameToStore));
$post->image = $fileNameToStore;
auth()->user()->publish(
new Post(request(['title', 'text', 'image']))
);
}
return redirect ('/');
}
But it does not store image path to image column of database. Instead tmp data like C:\xampp\tmp\phpC549.tmp stored. What is wrong here?

Answer 1

I think you need to change the save code
auth()->user()->publish(
new Post(request(['title', 'text', 'image']))
);
to
auth()->user()->publish(
new Post([
'title'=>$request->title,
'text'=>$request->text,
])
);
since image val already set inside hasfile if condition
Sample Image path
public function addBlogCategoryPost(BlogCategoryRequest $request) {
$destinationPath = 'iamge path';
$data = [
'category_name' => $request->category_name,
'category_description' => $request->category_description,
'seo_url' => $request->seo_url,
'meta_title' => $request->meta_title,
'meta_description' => $request->meta_description,
'meta_keywords' => $request->meta_keywords,
'meta_author' => $request->meta_author,
];
if ($request->hasFile('category_image')) {
$file = $request->file('category_image');
//move iamge to folder
$fileName = str_random(30) . '.' . $file->clientExtension();
$file->move($destinationPath, $fileName);
$data['category_image'] = $fileName;
}
$addTag = BlogCategory::create($data);
if ($addTag) {
return $addTag;
}
}
