I have a view/form that allows the user to upload an image file.
My validate code in my controller says this...
$this->validate($request, [
'name' => 'required',
'desc' => 'required',
'active' => 'required',
'image' => 'image|nullable|max:2000'
]);
When the user uploads an image larger than 2MB, it correctly fails validation, but the error presented to my view (in the $errors variable) is "The image failed to upload.". I would like to see something more along the lines of "The uploaded image must be smaller than 2MB".
Is this possible?
Thanks very much.
further info....
Looking at the $errors variable, it shows the following...
ViewErrorBag {#444 ▼ #bags: array:1 [▼ "default" => MessageBag {#445 ▼ #messages: array:1 [▼ "image" => array:1 [▼ 0 => "The image failed to upload." ] ] #format: ":message" } ] }
So I can see that there is no further detail in the error message.
Thanks again.
it should be like this @rkrite
https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/validation#custom-error-messages
$this->validate($request, [
'name' => 'required',
'desc' => 'required',
'active' => 'required',
'image' => 'image|nullable|max:2000'
],['image.max' => "The uploaded image must be smaller than 2MB"]);
Thanks edoc. It seems that this isn't working for me. I'm still getting the same message :( If in fact it is a different error, is there a way to check it?
in fact it is a different error
what's the error message saying?
@EDOC - "The image failed to upload"
did you add enctype="multipart/form-data" to your form element?
@EDOC - Yes. I am able to upload an image that is smaller than 2MB successfully. When I upload an image larger than my validation allows, it only gives me the error "The image failed to upload".
check your max file upload size in php @rkrite
Files may not successfully upload if they are too large based on PHP's setting

@EDOC - You're a wizard edoc! That's the problem. Thanks so much :)
