FileNotFoundException in laravel - php

Question

In laravel i am making an application that uploads a file and the user can download that same file.
But each time i click to upload i get this error.
FileNotFoundException in File.php line 37: The file
"H:\wamp64\tmp\phpF040.tmp" does not exist
my view code is this:
#extends('layouts.app')
#section('content')
#inject('Kala','App\Kala')
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
#include('common.errors')
<form action="/addkala" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="text" name="details">
<input type="file" name="photo" id="photo" >
<button type="submit">submit</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
#endsection
and my controller
public function addkalapost(Request $request)
{
$rules = [
'name' => 'required|max:255',
'details' => 'required',
'photo' => 'max:1024',
];
$v = Validator::make($request->all(), $rules);
if($v->fails()){
return redirect()->back()->withErrors($v->errors())->withInput($request->except('photo'));
} else {
$file = $request->file('photo');
$fileName = time().'_'.$request->name;
$destinationPath = public_path().'/uploads';
$file->move($destinationPath, $fileName);
$kala=new Kala;
$kala->name=$request->name;
return 1;
$kala->details=$request->details;
$kala->pic_name=$fileName;
$kala->save();
return redirect()->back()->with('message', 'The post successfully inserted.');
}
}
and i change the upload max size in php.ini to 1000M.

Answer 1

I'll recommend you using filesystems for that by default the folder is storage/app you need to get file from there
if your file is located somewhere else you can make your own disk in config/filesystems e.g. 'myDisk' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' =>base_path('xyzFolder'),
],
and you can call it like
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
$data = Storage::disk('myDisk')->get('myFile.txt');
this is obviously to get file and you can perform any other function by following laravel docs.
