Trying to upload multiple images using guzzlehttp client in laravel - php

Question

I am trying to upload multiple images using guzzlehttp client. I have a form in which other type of data('id', 'date','name' e.t.c..) and images are there.
I want to save other data along with image upload through an Api Request.
I am able to save other data, but i am getting problem in uploading images.
In the API i am accessing my image file by
$request->file('images')
but it is showing empty.
My code for calling the API
$images = $request->file('images');
foreach ($images as $image)
{
$body[] = [
'Content-type' => 'multipart/form-data',
'name' => $image->getClientOriginalName(),
'contents' => fopen($image->getRealPath(), 'r')
];
}
$data = $request->all();
$client = new Client();
$response = $client->request('POST', $url, [
'multipart' => $body,
'json' => $data
]);
I'm handling the Api for uploading image below
if ($request->hasFile('images'))
{
$images = $request->file('images');
foreach ($images as $image)
{
$imageRules = [
'file' => 'mimes:png,jpeg,jpg,JPG|max:1024'
];
$imageMessages = [
'file.mimes' => 'One of the images/video is not valid. (only .png, .jpeg, .jpg, .mp4, .x-flv, .x-mpegURL, .MP2T, .3gpp, .quicktime, .x-msvideo, .x-ms-wmv are accepted)',
'file.max' => 'Image size cannot br more than 1 MB'
];
$imageValidator = Validator::make(['file' => $image], $imageRules, $imageMessages);
if ($imageValidator->fails())
{
return response()->json(['success' => false, 'error' => $imageValidator->messages()->first(), 'dashRedirectUrl' => $redirectRoute]);
}
}
$directPath = '/ticket/' . $ticket->id . '/mapping/' . $mappingId . '/images/';
foreach ($images as $image)
{
$option = ['isWatermark' => false];
$imageName = $this->uploadImageToServer($image, $directPath, $option);
$imgInsertData = [
'url' => $imageName,
'title' => $this->getImageTitle($image),
'ticket_mapping_id' => $mappingId,
'type_id' => 1,
];
TicketMappingGallery::create($imgInsertData);
}
}
Note :: My funciton uploadImageToServer() is custom function for uploading the images..
Any help would be appreciated. Drop comment if anything is not clear.

Try this one,
foreach ($image as $img) {
$body[] = [
'name' => 'image[]',
'image_path' => $img->getPathname(),
'image_mime' => $img->getmimeType(),
'image_org' => $img->getClientOriginalName(),
'contents' => fopen($img->getRealPath(), 'r')
];
}
$requestOptions = ['query' => $data, 'multipart' => $body
];
