Session::flash('flash_message', 'Record successfully added!');

Answer 1

That' s because you are saving the temporarily generated file url.
For files you need to manually save it to the desired location
( make sure it passes validations ):
$request->file('photo')->move($destinationPath);
// With a custom filename
$request->file('photo')->move($destinationPath, $fileName);
and then store the new filename ( with or without the path ) in the database something like this:
$students = new Students;
$students->image = $fileName;
...
$students->save();

Answer 2

On your controlller make these changes
public function save(Request $request)
{
$destination = 'uploads/photos/'; // your upload folder
$image = $request->file('image');
$filename = $image->getClientOriginalName(); // get the filename
$image->move($destination, $filename); // move file to destination
// create a record
Student::create([
'image' => $destination . $filename
]);
return back()->withSuccess('Success.');
}
Don't forget to use
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
