Can't write image data laravel 5 Intervention - php

Question

This question have been asked many times in SO, but still I cannot figure it out why is this not working for me.
I am working on E-Commerce Laravel Project.
The issue is that, when the admin uploads the image file of the product, get the error of:
Can't write image data to path
(http://example.com/ankur/images/uploads/products/img-newprod-540-350-350.jpg)
Here's the controller snippet of storing the image and related entries:
public function storeGeneral(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'code' => 'required|alpha_dash|unique:products',
'name' => 'required',
'description' => 'string',
'details' => 'string',
'price' => 'required|regex:/^\d*(\.\d{2})?$/',
'tax_amount' => 'required|regex:/^\d*(\.\d{2})?$/',
'net_price' => 'required|regex:/^\d*(\.\d{2})?$/',
'weight' => 'required|integer',
'image_file' => 'image|mimes:jpeg,jpg,JPG'
]);
if ($request->ajax() ) {
if ($request->file('image_file' ) ) {
$request['img_code'] = 'img-' . $request->get('code' );
$product = Product::create($request->all() );
$product->categories()->attach($request->input('category_id') );
Session::put('product_last_inserted_id', $product->id);
$mgCode = DB::table('products')->latest()->limit(1)->pluck('img_code');
$imageType = [
'product' => [
'height' => 350,
'width' => 350
],
'carousel' => [
'height' => 163,
'width' => 163
],
'cart' => [
'height' => 64,
'width' => 64
]
];
foreach($imageType as $key => $value)
{
$fileName = Safeurl::make($mgCode );
$image = Image::make($request->file('image_file' ) );
//$path = public_path( 'images/uploads/products/' );
$path = url('/images/uploads/products/');
if ($key == 'product') {
$image->resize($value['width'], $value['height'] );
$image->save($path.'/'.$fileName."-". $value['width'] ."-".$value['height'] .".jpg", 100 );
} else if ($key == 'carousel' ) {
$image->resize($value['width'], $value['height'] );
$image->save($path.'/'.$fileName."-". $value['width'] ."-".$value['height'] .".jpg", 100 );
} else if ($key == 'cart' ) {
$image->resize($value['width'], $value['height'] );
$image->save($path.'/'.$fileName."-". $value['width'] ."-".$value['height'] .".jpg", 100 );
}
}
} else {
$product = Product::create($request->all() );
Session::put('product_last_inserted_id', $product->id);
}
return response(['status' => 'success', 'msg' => 'The product has been added successfully.']);
}
return response(['status' => 'failed', 'msg' => 'The product could not be added successfully.']);
}
The folder permission that I have is 0777 for the images directory and it's sub directories.
But still I get the above mentioned error exception.
EDIT 1:
This is the folder structure in my hosting account file manager which is inside the public_html directory:
Can anybody help me out with this.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I have somehow figured it out.
Instead of using url() or base_path(), I used public_path().
Code that I used:
$path = public_path('../../public_html/ankur/images/uploads/products');
Worked like a charm.

Answer 2

You are trying to save image using url. Instead of url try following
$path = base_path().'/images/uploads/products';

Answer 3

You can not save the image using http path. You have to use base_path() or manual type full server directory path /home/webtuningtechnology/public_html/images/ like this
