How to view variables?

Why isn't this enough:

public function fileupload(Request $request){

     if($request->hasFile('file')) {

       $file = $request->file('file');

       $extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
       $filename = $file->getClientOriginalName();
       dd($extension, $filename); // print the file 
      
     }
}

Nakov,

thanks for your reply. The function is not loaded by a request. The page does not refresh. So i think it i done by javascript. How sends it by the router.

https://www.dropzonejs.com/bootstrap.html

Route::post('dropzone/store', 'UploadController@store');
Route::put('dropzone/store', 'UploadController@store');

uploadcontroller:

 /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store()
    {
      //session_start();
      $inp = Input::all();
      $destinationPath = 'storage/xxx/uploads/temp'; // upload path
      $extension = $inp["file"][0]->getClientOriginalExtension(); // getting image extension
      $fileName = Auth::id().time().$inp['file'][0]->getClientOriginalName(); // renameing image
      $inp["file"][0]->move($destinationPath, $fileName); // uploading file to given path

      return $fileName;
    }

Someone else has installed this for me in the past. Secondly i'm new in programming and don't have knowledge from javascript etc.

Any other suggestion?

@mbo you will not be able to get it from the input, try this instead:

public function store(Request $request)
{
      //session_start();

    if($request->has('file'))
    {
        $file = $request->file('file');
        $destinationPath = 'storage/xxx/uploads/temp'; // upload path
        $extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension(); // getting image extension
        $fileName = Auth::id().time().$file->getClientOriginalName(); // renameing image
        $file->move($destinationPath, $fileName); // uploading file to given path

        return $fileName;
    }	


      return 'No file';
}

@nakov,

i tried. But got the following error;

dropzone.min.js:1 POST http://ligplaats.test/dropzone/store 500 (Internal Server Error)
c.submitRequest @ dropzone.min.js:1
c.uploadFiles @ dropzone.min.js:1
c.processFiles @ dropzone.min.js:1
c.processQueue @ dropzone.min.js:1
(anonymous) @ dropzone.min.js:1
setTimeout (async)
c.enqueueFile @ dropzone.min.js:1
(anonymous) @ dropzone.min.js:1
accept @ dropzone.min.js:1
c.accept @ dropzone.min.js:1
c.addFile @ dropzone.min.js:1
(anonymous) @ dropzone.min.js:1

As soon as i introduce the request $request it goes down.

The script i posted is working but i want to have insights wat is happening. With the script i have to issues:

1. if i do a multi load of the images they all get the same name (he overrides them). So the file name is not set unique. I think it has to do with the [0]. Does it?

2. i like to upload the images to DO spaces. So i have to adjust the $destinationpath. I can't get it working because i don't know how it looks like (can't see the variables)

Any idea how to solve those things?

@mbo if what you have works, then you just need to loop over the input data and add each one separately:

$inp = Input::all();

foreach($inp['file'] as $file)
{
    $destinationPath = 'storage/xxx/uploads/temp'; // upload path
    $extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension(); // getting image extension
    $fileName = Auth::id().time().$file->getClientOriginalName(); // renameing image
    $file>move($destinationPath, $fileName); // uploading file to given path
}

nakov,

thanks for your reaction. At the end i was able to solve it. I seems that the package also runs a foreach. So that was not needed. I also had to do with the multi upload settings of the package. That was causing the problems.

Thanks for the help anyway!

public function store(Request $request){

          
            $filename = sha1(time()).$request->file('file')->getClientOriginalName();
            $request->file('file')->storeAs('xxx/uploads/temp/',$filename, 'do-spaces');

            return Response::json($filename);
            
    }

settings: uploadmultiple was true is to false.

//images zone
Dropzone.options.myAwesomeDropzone = { // The camelized version of the ID of the form element
            url: '/dropzone/store',

            uploadMultiple: false, 
            parallelUploads: 5,

for future, it may be helpful to install dump server into your project. Then your dd output is sent to your console instead of back to the browser

thanks, that can be very helpful indeed!
