    {
        $this->validate($request, [
            'title' => 'required',
            'body' => 'required',
            'cover_image' => 'image|nullable|max:1999',
        ]);

        // Handle File upload
        if($request->hasFile('cover_image')){
            // get filename with the extention
            $fileNameWithExt = $request->file('cover_image')->getClientOrginalName();

            // get just filename 
            $fileName = pathinfo($fileNameWithExt, PATHINFO_FILENAME);

            // get just Ext
            $extention = $request->file('cover_image')->getClientOrginalExtention();

            // Filename to store
            $fileNameToStore = $filename.'_'.time().'.'.$extention;

            // upload image
            $path = $request->file('cover_image')->storeAs('public/cover_images',$fileNameToStore);
        }else{
            $fileNameStore='noimage.jpg';
        }        
        //create post
        $post=new Post;
        $post->title = $request->input('title');
        $post->body = $request->input('body');
        $post->user_id = auth()->user()->id;
        $post->cover_image = $fileNameToStore;
        $post->save();

        return redirect('/posts')->with('success','Post created');

It should be getClientOriginalExtension instead of getClientOrginalExtention.

The t should be an s in extension

@bobbybouma after correction some code -

 $fileNameWithExt = $request->file('cover_image')->getClientOriginalName();

$extention = $request->file('cover_image')->getClientOriginalExtension();

out put is

The cover image failed to upload.

How could we possibly say?

You could just have an echo statement 'The cover image failed to upload.' ?

It's related to validation rules

'uploaded' => 'The :attribute failed to upload.',

in validation.php

In your validation you are saying that the file cannot be larger than 1.999 MB

In addition, PHP has upload_max_filesize and also post_max_size

You need to understand what these are to know if your upload will work

Try uploading a small image, like one that's less than 1mb. Just to test if the upload functionality works.

If it does work for smaller files, then you need to change your php.ini settings and reboot the web server like the others have mentioned.

Yes, it's most likely a php settings issue, not laravel. If the php settings don't allow uploads greater than 2MB, then, simply, it won't work if the image is greater than that size in Laravel or anything else. PHP itself is preventing it.

You can easily see the php settings by creating this route and going to it.

Route::get('/phpinfo', function() {
    phpinfo();
});

It will make a nice HTML page of all of the php settings and enabled extensions. Be sure to delete the route when you're done.
