i'm not able to store my image data in db.

 <div class="control-group">
                                    <label class="control-label">Alternate Image(s)</label>
                                    <div class="controls">
                                        <input type="file" name="image" id="image" multiple="multiple" />
                                    </div>

@michaloravec please help me in sorting out it.

@muhammadmaaz Add name="image[]" to your input like

<input type="file" name="image[]" id="image" multiple="multiple">

actually i did it,and also i printed the image which i wanna store by printing $data,i's coming up,but just after that line,my image store code is not working,please guide about it.

here is the result of printing $data

Array
(
    [_token] => SBahrbR8NEu3RUhcHZdxLx5nuxiwHTwfKMw84sw1
    [product_id] => 2
    [image] => Array
        (
            [0] => sideviewgreen_grande.webp
        )

)

@michaloravec kindly give it a view

@muhammadmaaz

Check http://image.intervention.io/getting_started/formats

For WebP support GD driver must be used with PHP 5 >= 5.5.0 or PHP 7 in order to use imagewebp(). If Imagick is used, it must be compiled with libwebp for WebP support.

@michaloravec

actually my image code is not working,if i try to print below line,it stills redirects and says image has been added successfully.which shows image code is not working,btw i used a jpg image this time.

 $files=$request->file('image');
     echo "<pre>";print_r($files);die;

@muhammadmaaz Change your code to something like this

if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
    foreach($request->file('image') as $image) {
        $filename = Str::random(14).'.'.$image->getClientOriginalExtension();

        $largeImage = Image::make($image)->encode();

        Storage::disk('public')->put("images/backend_images/products/large/{$filename}", (string) $largeImage);

        $mediumImage = Image::make($image)->resize(600, 600)->encode();

        Storage::disk('public')->put("images/backend_images/products/medium/{$filename}", (string) $mediumImage);

        $smallImage = Image::make($image)->resize(300, 300)->encode();

        Storage::disk('public')->put("images/backend_images/products/small/{$filename}", (string) $smallImage);

        $productdetails->images()->create([
            'image' => $filename
        ]);
    }
}

$productdetails->images() just chnge to your relationship name.

@michaloravec

sorry i didn't understand this line of code and editor is showing error too,please guide me about specific relationship name you mentioned.

$productdetails->images()->create([
            'image' => $filename}

@muhammadmaaz Do you use relationships?

https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/eloquent-relationships

Because your products_image model has foreing key product_id, actually I don't know why you use name for it instead of ProductImage.

So your Product model should have this relationship

public function images()
{
    return $this->hasMany(App\ProductImage::class);
}

Please set your relationships and use Laravel naming convention for models and you avoid to more problems in the future.

@muhammadmaaz Please read that part of documentation what I posted before.

This is same as before

products_image::create([
    'image' => $filename,
    'product_id' => $data['product_id']
]);

@michaloravec

okay here is my product model in which i added images function like this,

 public function images()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(App\ProductImage::class);
    }

then i added relationship like that,

 $productdetails= Product::with('images')->where(['id'=>$id])->first();

but it still didn't work and showed an error on this line

$productdetails->images()->create(['image' => $filename}

You don't understand at all...

You don't have to do this

 $productdetails= Product::with('images')->where(['id'=>$id])->first();

To create use this code

$productdetails->images()->create([
    'image' => $filename
]);

@michaloravec

okay then why editor is showing red line under this line of code

$productdetails->images()->create(['image' => $filename}

i'm really sorry about that,as i'm not a master and things are really messed up.

@muhammadmaaz What do you thing this is same?

$productdetails->images()->create([
    'image' => $filename
]);

as

$productdetails->images()->create([
    'image' => $filename
}

No, so use this

$productdetails->images()->create([
    'image' => $filename
]);

actually i did it and it works,sorry for my fault. i ran the code and it showed this error.

Class 'App\App\ProductImage' not found

Your model App\ProductImage exists as app/ProductImage.php?

Then your relationship should be

use App\ProductImage;

public function images()
{
    return $this->hasMany(ProductImage::class);
}

@michaloravec

actually i did it but error still persists.here is my product model.

<?php

namespace App;
use App\ProductImage;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class product extends Model
{
    public function attributes(){
        return $this->hasMany('App\products_attribute','product_id');
    }
    public function images()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('App\ProductImage','product_id');
    }
}

@muhammadmaaz And show me your ProductImage file.

@michaloravec

actually my model is Products_image,not ProductImage,so i changed my header and also my model,it worked,when i tried to add image it again redirected by showing message image added successfully while it wasn't in database.my database name is Products_images.

@michaloravec here is my products_image file.

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class products_image extends Model
{
    //
}

@muhammadmaaz Add $fillable to your models.

Documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/eloquent#mass-assignment

Also I don't know why you don't follow standard Laravel naming convention...

@muhammadmaaz

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class products_image extends Model
{
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = ['product_id', 'image'];
}

@michaloravec

it's my controller.

 if($request->isMethod('post')) 
      {
          $data=$request->all();
        //  echo "<pre>";print_r($data);die;
        if ($request->hasFile('image')) 
        {
          foreach($request->file('image') as $image) {
              $filename = Str::random(14).'.'.$image->getClientOriginalExtension();
              echo "<pre>";print_r($filename);die;
      
              $largeImage = Image::make($image)->encode();
      
              Storage::disk('public')->put("images/backend_images/products/large/{$filename}", (string) $largeImage);
      
             $mediumImage = Image::make($image)->resize(600, 600)->encode();
      
              Storage::disk('public')->put("images/backend_images/products/medium/{$filename}", (string) $mediumImage);
      
              $smallImage = Image::make($image)->resize(300, 300)->encode();
      
              Storage::disk('public')->put("images/backend_images/products/small/{$filename}", (string) $smallImage);
      
              $productdetails->images()->create([
                'image' => $filename
            ]);
            }
          }
           return redirect('admin/add-images/'.$id)->with('flash_message_success','proudct image has been added successfully');
      }

and i tried to print below line and it didn't work.

   $filename = Str::random(14).'.'.$image->getClientOriginalExtension();
              echo "<pre>";print_r($filename);die;

why debugger is ignoring this part of code?

@muhammadmaaz

dd($filename);

@michaloravec

i used $fillable but no use.

@muhammadmaaz Stude more...

@michaloravec it didn't work.this part of code is not being execuated.

dd($filename);
