Remove Double Quote
I can't remove double quotes form getOriginalExtension(). Can anyone help me?!
public function insert(Request $request) { $images = $request->file('image'); $quantities = $request->quantity;
$order_infos = array_map(null, $images, $quantities);
foreach($order_infos as $info => $key) {
$order = new Order();
$order->user_id = $request->id;
$order->quantity = $key[1];
$extension = $key[0]->getClientOriginalExtension();
dd($extension);
$fileName = Str::random(20). '.' .$extension;
$key[0]->move('storage/images/', $fileName);
$order->image = $fileName;
$order->live_id = Live::orderByDesc('id')->first()->id;
$order->save();
}
return redirect('/')->with('status', 'Your order is Done!');
}

I am Getting image extensions for $extension variable. But as string. I want to remove double quote from it and $fileName variable..
dd($extension)="png" expected Output = png
dd($fileName) = "yVHlPHOPz1iOCjeCxq0S.png" expected Output = yVHlPHOPz1iOCjeCxq0S.png

I am pretty sure that is just dd() telling you it is a string. Once saved to the database, those quotes are removed.
Level 4
No. It doesn't. And the Database has also the double-quotes. This is a major problem.
Level 102
Can you show an image of how it looks in the database perhaps? The shown code shouldnt create any quotes
But if you need to remove them this would be the code
$fileName = str_replace('"', '', $fileName);
Level 4
I used
$fileName = str_replace('"', '', $fileName);
$fileName = trim($fileName, '"');
These didn't work.

@rafidahsan Instead of your dd can you echo $extension and then die(); afterwards, What does that output look like?

You can use flameshot to grab an image and upload it right away (to imgur)

"1600532044.JPG" This is a data for image column and I am confused too. Istucked here for weeks.
Level 102
dd will add "" to show you it is a string. That is intended

$test = 'png';
dd($test);
Level 4
But on database data has double quotes also.
Level 102
So columns like the email in the users table does not have "" around it?
Level 4
Yeah. It does not have. Just image has double quote
Level 102
Do you by any chance have a mutator on the Order model? A method named setImageAttribute
Level 4
No I don't have,
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Order extends Model
{
protected $fillable = [
'image', 'quantity', 'user_id'
];
protected $casts = [
'image' => 'array',
'quantity' => 'array'
];
public function lives() {
return $this->hasMany(Live::class)->withTimeStamps();
}
}
Level 102
Ah there we go. You are casting the string as an array
protected $casts = [
'image' => 'string',
'quantity' => 'integer'
];
And I would assume that quantity should be an integer?

Thank you so so much...

Happy to help. Casting can be confusing :) Rule of thumb. Only cast to array if the column contains json :)
