Upload an image and create its thumbnail Laravel 5.2 - php

Question

So yesterday I tried to make an upload file function , for when user makes his products, he can also upload a picture too.
But the picture was too big when I was iterating through the items, so I decided to use intervention package to resize the picture and also create a thumbnail picture.
I made the function but its partially working.
if($file = $request->hasFile('image')) {
$file = $request->file('image');
$extension = $file->getClientOriginalName();
$username = Auth::user()->username;
$destinationPath = public_path('/uploads/products/' . $username);
$thumb = Image::make($file->getRealPath())->resize(100, 100, function ($constraint) {
$constraint->aspectRatio(); //maintain image ratio
});
$thumb->save($destinationPath.'/thumb_'.$extension);
$destinationPath = public_path('/uploads/products/' . $username);
$file->move($destinationPath, $extension);
$product['imagePath'] = '/uploads/products/'. $username . '/' . $extension;
$product['thumbnail'] = '/uploads/products/'. $username . '/thumb_' . $extension;
}
I made it so, different user will create a different file in /uploads/products.
Also I upload the original picture and the resized so the I should have like:
picture.jpg and thumb_picture.jpg.
When the custom file is not created (from the name of the user) I get this error:
Can't write image data to path
(C:\xampp\htdocs\shop\public/uploads/products/book/thumb_Jellyfish.jpg)
When I comment 6,7,8 lines, the function works but it uploads only the original picture as it supposed to. If I remove the comment, the thumbnail works too!
So I guess, after the custom folder has been created, the whole function works fine, but before it has a writable problem.
Any ideas? Everything will be appreciated!

For anyone wonder how to fix this or do something similar, I just found the solution:
if($file = $request->hasFile('image')) {
$file = $request->file('image');
$extension = $file->getClientOriginalName();
$username = Auth::user()->username;
$thumb = Image::make($file->getRealPath())->resize(100, 100, function ($constraint) {
$constraint->aspectRatio(); //maintain image ratio
});
$destinationPath = public_path('/uploads/products/' . $username);
$file->move($destinationPath, $extension);
$thumb->save($destinationPath.'/thumb_'.$extension);
$product['imagePath'] = '/uploads/products/'. $username . '/' . $extension;
$product['thumbnail'] = '/uploads/products/'. $username . '/thumb_' . $extension;
}
So this piece of code makes a dynamic folder (I chose the username of the authenticated user) inside /uploads/products/. In that folder it uploads the picture and also creates a resized one, for thumbnail use. Also, when it creates the thumbnail, it holds the ratio of the original picture so it doesn't lose proportions
