L5.2 + Intervention Image. Updating image.

Hi,

L5.2 + Intervention Image. Updating image.

I'm having problems when UPDATING the photo. When I create a new record the photo gets uploaded with the generated name and extension. Also, the correct name and extension get saved on my DB. When I "edit" the record the new photo doesn't upload and on the DB the existing file name changes to the name of the new photo I try to upload. Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

My "create" partial

{!! Form::open([
'url' => 'content-management-system/consultants',
'files' => true
]) !!}
   @include('cms.consultants.partials.form', ['submitButtonText' => 'Create'])
{!! Form::close() !!}

My "edit" partial

{!! Form::model($consultants, [
    'method' => 'PATCH',
    'action' => [
        'ConsultantsController@update', $consultants->id,
        'files' => true
        ]
]) !!}
    @include('cms.consultants.partials.form', ['submitButtonText' => 'Edit'])
{!! Form::close() !!}

My form (I have cut other irrelevant fileds)

<div class="form-group">
    {!! Form::label('photo', 'Photo:') !!}
    {!! Form::file('photo', null, ['class' => 'form-control', 'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data']) !!}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
    {!! Form::submit($submitButtonText, ['class' => 'btn btn-primary form-control']) !!}
</div>
