Laravel - Create custom name while uploading image using storage - php

Question

I am trying to upload a file using laravel Storage i.e
$request->file('input_field_name')->store('directory_name'); but it is saving the file in specified directory with random string name.
Now I want to save the uploaded file with custom name i.e current timestamp concatenate with actual file name. Is there any fastest and simplest way to achive this functionality.

Answer 1

Use storeAs() instead:
$request->file('input_field_name')->storeAs('directory_name', time().'.jpg');

Answer 2

You can use below code :
Use File Facade
use Illuminate\Http\File;
Make Following Changes in Your Code
$custom_file_name = time().'-'.$request->file('input_field_name')->getClientOriginalName();
$path = $request->file('input_field_name')->storeAs('directory_name',$custom_file_name);
For more detail : Laravel Filesystem And storeAs as mention by #Alexey Mezenin
Hope this code will help :)

Answer 3

You also can try like this
$ImgValue = $request->service_photo;
$getFileExt = $ImgValue->getClientOriginalExtension();
$uploadedFile = time()'.'.$getFileExt;
$uploadDir = public_path('UPLOAS_PATH');
$ImgValue->move($uploadDir, $uploadedFile);
Thanks,

Answer 4

Try with following work :
$image = time() .'_'. $request->file('image')->getClientOriginalName();
$path = base_path() . '/public/uploads/';
$request->file('image')->move($path, $image);

Answer 5

You can also try this one.
$originalName = time().'.'.$file->getClientOriginalName();
$filename = str_slug(pathinfo($originalName, PATHINFO_FILENAME), "-");
$extension = pathinfo($originalName, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$path = public_path('/uploads/');
//Call getNewFileName function
$finalFullName = $this->getNewFileName($filename, $extension, $path);
// Function getNewFileName
public function getNewFileName($filename, $extension, $path)
{
$i = 1;
$new_filename = $filename . '.' . $extension;
while (File::exists($path . $new_filename))
$new_filename = $filename . '_' . $i++ . '.' . $extension;
return $new_filename;
}
