Laravel does not update image.

What is supposed to get stored in your avatar field ? Because its seems to work.

I would like if I upload image then change default.jpg with uploaded image file name. But it does not work. Everytime when I add new product with image, I get default.jpg value and it does not save the image file in the img/product_img folder. @Youz

Oh I see :

            $avatar = $request->file('avatar');
            $filename = time() . '-' . $avatar->getClientOriginalExtension();
            Image::make($avatar)->resize(300, 300)->save( public_path('/img/product_img/' . $filename) );

            $product->avatar = $filename;
            $product->save();
        }

This return "default.jpg" at the end ? If you try a dd($filename); after $filename = time() . '-' . $avatar->getClientOriginalExtension();

What is returned ?

Maybe that if isn't performed and you got a default value set anywhere ?

It does not work neither. Now I deleted the ->default('default.jpeg'); in table and I get this error: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1364 Field 'avatar' doesn't have a default value

I think the IF statement isnt executed.

You should add dd('Hello'); in your if.

If you don't see hello, you have an issue with your IF

if($request->hasFile('avatar')){
    dd("Hello");
            $avatar = $request->file('avatar');
            $filename = time() . '-' . $avatar->getClientOriginalExtension();
            Image::make($avatar)->resize(300, 300)->save( public_path('/img/product_img/' . $filename) );

            $product->avatar = $filename;
            $product->save();
        }

I tried and Unfortunately, I do not see hello. @Youz

So try dd($request->all()) before your if to see what your request have :)

I get this, but it does not insert into the database.

array:9 [
  "_token" => "afTUAT10ENMXn0ltXz1FUTmk30T2VpCHT4j89GSN"
  "pid" => null
  "pcat" => "1"
  "ptitle" => "legújabb"
  "pdb" => "22"
  "pcikkszam" => "c1c1ec1ece1"
  "pdescription" => "clncLNIN NEINFIENFINEFINm wqdniwndiwndinwdin"
  "par" => "55"
  "avatar" => "C:\fakepath\images.jfif"
]

Your if($request->hasFile('avatar')) doesn't work. Try something like if($request->avatar)

Aren't you missing your encode type if you are uploading a file?

<form class="form-horizontal" role="form" enctype="multipart/form-data">    

@rob897 @Youz Unfortunately these are not work neither. I tried everything. My code is now: in controller:

$avatar = $request->avatar;
        if($avatar) {
            $filename = time() . '-' . $avatar->getClientOriginalExtension();
            Image::make($avatar)->resize(300, 300)->save( public_path('/img/product_img/' . $filename));
            
            $product = new Item();
            $product->avatar = $filename;
            $product->save();
        }

in form:

 <div class="form-group">
   <label class="control-label col-sm-2" for="avatar">Kép:</label>
        <div>
           <div class="col-sm-10">
              <form class="form-horizontal" role="form" enctype="multipart/form-data">  
                 <input type="file" id="avatar" name="avatar"><br />
              </form>
            </div>
        </div>
  </div>

and I get this error: Call to a member function getClientOriginalExtension() on string

in your controller if you dd($request->avatar) do you see the getClientOriginalExtension() ? Also I do not see a method in your opening form tag.. So it appears your not hitting the controller.

Maybe it is your php settings restricting the file size of uploads, try increasing it in your php.ini.

@rob897 if I use dd($request->avatar) I do not see getClientOriginalExtension(). I get null.

I created an another form without modal + ajax and the uploading image works. But I need to use modal... this is how looks my form now:

<form class="form-horizontal" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{!! csrf_token() !!}">

    
    //  some form-group
    
                           
  <div class="form-group">
    <label class="control-label col-sm-2" for="avatar">Kép:</label>
    <div class="col-sm-10"> 
      <input type="file" name="avatar" id="avatar">
    </div>
  </div>
                       
  <div class="deleteContent">Are you Sure you want to delete <span class="iname"></span> ? <span class="hidden piid"></span>
  </div>
  <div class="modal-footer">
    <button type="button" class="btn actionBtn-btn" data-dismiss="modal">
      <span id="footer_action_button-btn" class='glyphicon'> </span>
   </button>
   <button type="button" class="btn btn-warning" data-dismiss="modal">
     <span class='glyphicon glyphicon-remove'></span> Close
   </button>
  </div>
</form>

controller:

public function pstore(ProductFormRequest $request)
    {
        
        $pslug = uniqid();
        $product = new Item();
        $product->ptitle = $request->ptitle;
        $product->pdescription = $request->pdescription;
        $product->pcat = $request->pcat;
        $product->par = $request->par;
        $product->pdb = $request->pdb;
        $product->pcikkszam = $request->pcikkszam;
        $product->pslug = $pslug;

        
        if ($request->hasFile('avatar')) {
            
            $avatar = $request->file('avatar');
            $filename = time() . '.' . $avatar->getClientOriginalExtension();
            $location = public_path('avatars/' . $filename);
            Image::make($avatar)->resize(800, 400)->save($location);

            $product->avatar = $filename;
       }

        $product->save();
        return response()->json($product);

    }

I have an ajax too. I do not know that maybe it can cause the problem.

$(document).on('click', '.add-modal', function() {
        $('#footer_action_button-btn').text(" Hozzáadás");
        $('#footer_action_button-btn').addClass('glyphicon-check');
        $('#footer_action_button-btn').removeClass('glyphicon-trash');
        $('.actionBtn-btn').addClass('btn-success');
        $('.actionBtn-btn').removeClass('btn-danger');
        $('.actionBtn-btn').addClass('addpro');
        $('.modal-title').text('Létrehozás');
        $('.deleteContent').hide();
        $('.form-horizontal').show();
        $('#pid').val();
        $('#ptitle').val();
        $('#par').val();
        $('#pcat').val();

        $('#pdescription').val();
        $('#avatar').val();
        $('#prodModal').modal('show');
    });

  $('.modal-footer').on('click', '.addpro', function() {
        
        var prodData = {
                '_token': $('input[name=_token]').val(),
                'pid': $("#pid").val(),
                'pid': $("#pslug").val(),
                'pcat': $("#pcat").val(),
                'ptitle': $('#ptitle').val(),
                'pdb': $("#pdb").val(),
                'pcikkszam': $("#pcikkszam").val(),
                'pdescription': $("#pdescription").val(),
                'par': $("#par").val(),
                'avatar': $("#avatar").val(),
        };

        $.ajax({
            type: 'post',
            url: '/admin/create_products/product_add',
            data: prodData,
            success: function(data) {
             $("<tr class='product" + data.pslug + "'><td>" + data.pcikkszam + "</td><td>" + data.ptitle + "(" + data.pdb + "db)</td><td>" + data.par + " Ft</td><td><a href={!! action('CategoriesController@pedit', " + data.pslug + ") !!}><button class='btn btn-xs'><span class='glyphicon glyphicon-pencil'>Szerkesztés</span></button></a></td></tr>"
              ).prependTo('#storeprod');
            }
        });
    });

File uploads with ajax is a little bit more involved than what you are doing. $("#avatar").val() will only return the the text that appears in the file upload field which will be the path to the file. What actually needs to be sent is a multipart/form-data request with the form data as one part and the actual content of the selected file as another part.

There are various plugins available to help with this or you could use the native FormData API and FileReader API to read the contents of the file to a Blob.

Your form also doesn't have an action.. The form needs to point to an like:

<form class="form-horizontal" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/product">

Then your route would have something like

Route::post('product','ProductController@store');

Sorry I missed that you are doing this as an ajax call. I would try out the plugins @spekkionu mentioned above.
