Multiple images gallery

Hi @cosminandrei. first of all, your input should be an array

<!-- note square brackets after image_salons -->
<input type="file" name="image_salons[]" class="form-control">

then, exactly your code wrapped in a foreach loop

$images = $request->input('image_salons'); // array

foreach($images as $image) {
    $input['image_salons'] =
    time() . '.' . $image->getClientOriginalExtension();

    $image->move(public_path('images/salons'), $input['image_salons']);

    SalonsImageGallery::create($input);
}

I wrote this code, but I still cannot select more images, and now this error appears in my view and it does not show my image.

public function upload(Request $request) {

    $this->validate($request, [
        'image_salons' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
    ]);

    $images = $request->input('image_salons');

    foreach($images as $image) {
        $input['image_salons'] =
            time() . '.' . $image->getClientOriginalExtension();

        $image->move(public_path('images/salons'), $input['image_salons']);

        SalonsImageGallery::create($input);
    }

    return back()
        ->with('success','Imaginea a fost incarcata cu succes!');
}

@cosminandrei yep, add multiple attribute to your input

<input type="file" name="image_salons[]" class="form-control" multiple>

also you have to change your validation rules

$this->validate($request, [
    'image_salons' => 'required'
    'image_salons.*' => 'image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048'
]);
// this translates to:
// - image_salons filed is required
// - every item of image_salons array should be an image, max 2048 and jpeg, png, jpg, gif or svg format.

hope it helps, and will work without errors

Now i get this error. Maybe need to add if condition ?

I tried this and error disappear, but now doesn't store images to folder and database and doesn't display them.

if (is_array($images)) {

        foreach ($images as $image) {

            $input['image_salons'] = time() . '.' . $image->getClientOriginalExtension();

            $image->move(public_path('images/salons'), $input['image_salons']);

            SalonsImageGallery::create($input);
        }
    }

Maybe is problem with view code?

            <div class="gallery">

                @if($images_salons->count())

                    @foreach($images_salons as $image)

                        <div class='box'>
                            <a class="thumbnail fancybox" rel="ligthbox" href="/images/salons/{{ $image->image_salons }}">
                                <img class="img-responsive" alt="" src="/images/salons/{{ $image->image_salons }}"/>
                            </a>
                            <form action="{{ url('home/saloane',$image->id) }}" method="POST">
                                <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="delete">
                                {!! csrf_field() !!}
                                <button type="submit" class="close-icon btn btn-danger">X</button>
                            </form>
                        </div>
                    @endforeach
                @endif

            </div>

@cosminandrei try to debug a little bit

$images = $request->input('image_salons');

dd($images); // Here should be all the selected images

Have you looked into using intervention.

@sergiu17 I tried this, is displayed "null" ..

OK, take small steps,

public function upload(Request $request) {
    dd($request->all());
}

If it doesn't include image_salons, check your HTML, check if it's the correct route

@sergiu17 is displayed this. Image_salons is included.

@cosminandrei hmm, not sure it's null when your save to $images variable. ok

foreach($request->image_salons as $image) {
    // ...
}

@sergiu17 How can I contact you? I'm from Romania, i saw you are from Chisinau, maybe is easy to communicate via facebook or social media to find a solution?
