Laravel :Trying to get property of non-object on file input - php

Question

Im trying to do a submit a file with a form submission however I continue to get this error:
Error:
Trying to get property of non-object
at HandleExceptions->handleError('8', 'Trying to get property of non-object', '/Users/plastics1509moore/Desktop/elephant_gin/app/Http/Controllers/AdminController.php', '33', array('request' => object(Request), 'input' => array('_token' => 'y0ExMD4FoH3y1hRX61IOvMW520rn7AEx0UOzrc2R', 'title' => 'lol', 'description' => 'picture of gin one', 'link' => 'www.google.com', 'image' => object(UploadedFile)))) in AdminController.php line 33
I have files set to true. Is the issue the request all?
Here is the Controller function:
public function createSlider(Request $request)
{
$input = Request::all();
if (Input::hasFile('image')) {
$imageName = $input->id . '.' .
$request->file('image')->getClientOriginalExtension();
$request->file('image')->move(
base_path() . '/public/assets/image/', $imageName
);
$input->image = $imageName;
}
Sliders::create($input);
return redirect('/admin');
}
HTML
{!!Form::open(array('url' => 'admin/new_slider', 'files' => true)) !!}
<div class = "form-group">
{!!Form::label('title', 'Title:', ['class' => 'control-label']) !!}

{!!Form::submit('Submit', ['class'=> 'btn btn-default'])!!}
</div>
{!! Form::close() !!}

You are trying to get the id from the input. Your form isn't passing any id so naturally, your input won't have the id.
You can create the slider first and then get the id of the slider like this:
public function createSlider(Request $request)
{
$input = Request::all();
// Create slider
$slider = Sliders::create($input);
if (Input::hasFile('image')) {
// Use the slider id
$imageName = $slider->id . '.' .
$request->file('image')->getClientOriginalExtension();
$request->file('image')->move(
base_path() . '/public/assets/image/', $imageName
);
$input->image = $imageName;
}
return redirect('/admin');
}
