Level 1
please check my code
Level 54
you can't save the image into database by simply assigning it like other value data, file type input is an object not a string or integer...
check this out... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16382672/how-insert-and-retrieve-images-to-and-from-database-using-php
Level 75
@muhammadmaaz Why do you use same method for get and post request?
Change this echo "<pre>";print_r($data);die; to dd($data);
And show us result.

"_token" => "jla2fXLwpRuXRujQB86MFbYN6W6OqPEb64Ol12gi"
"category_id" => "1"
"product_name" => "dsfsd"
"product_code" => "xewwe"
"product_color" => "sdvd"
"description" => "sdfsd"
"price" => "332"

Level 1
im not saving it yet,im simply checking whether image filed is being posted or not?and sadly it's not
Level 1
You cant assign image to variable and send it with mail. You need to do several steps
Check whether image is in valid format (jpg, png...) Then upload it to sever then send it with attach and in you should use enctype="multipart/form-data"
Level 75
@muhammadmaaz And what do you get int this?
$request->file('image');
Level 1
should i try this?
Level 75
Level 1
i used it like that and i get empty page as an output,
$cat= $request->file('image');
print_r($cat);die;
```
Level 1
im working with laravel 5.6
Level 75
I see that you don't have validation, do you really upload any image?
Level 1
well i printed both suggestions and each time it truned out to be an empty page
Level 1
yes i selected an image in my form,
Level 75
