fetch the uploaded image from database in laravel 5.1 - php

Question

I have my upload function like this. I can upload the image but i cannot view it the blade.
Controller
public function addProduct()
{
return view('product.add_product');
}
public function saveProduct(Request $request)
{
$details = Input::all();
$product_validation = new Product;
$validation = Validator::make($details,$product_validation->setRules());
$destinationPath = '';
$filename = '';
if (Input::hasFile('image')) {
$file = Input::file('image');
$destinationPath = public_path().'/img/';
$filename = str_random(6) . '_' . $file->getClientOriginalName();
$uploadSuccess = $file->move($destinationPath, $filename);
}
if($validation->fails())
return Redirect::to('/add_product')->withInput()->withErrors($validation);
else
{
$product = new Product;
$product->product_name = $details['product_name'];
$product->product_description = $details['product_description'];
$product->price = $details['price'];
$product->image = $destinationPath . $filename;
$product->date_uploaded = $details['date_uploaded'];
$product->save();
}
return view('product.add_product');
}
And here's my view
<img src="{{ asset('img/$details->image') }}" alt="{{ $details->product_name }}">
{!! $details->product_name !!}</h2>
{!! $details->price !!}
I know that my image fetching didn't work but how can i do the right code? Hope you can help me guys. Thank you in advance. ^_^

If you are storing you images in your public directory and simply want to return them in your view, I would suggest using $product->image to store the relative path to the file.
i.e. $product->image = '/path/to/folder' . $filename;
You can then simply do this in your blade template by passing $product to the view
Controller
return view('product.add_product', [
'product' => $product,
]);
Blade View
<img src="{{ $product->image }}">
