$request->validate([
'enrol_id'=>'required',
'enrol_code'=>'required',
'enrol_mode'=>'required',
'upload_file' => "required|mimetypes:application/pdf|max:10000",
'enrol_date' => 'date_format:Y-m-d|before:today|after:2020-04-01'

<td>
<a href="{{URL::to('/')}}/certificates/{{$value['certificate']}}" target="_blank">
<button class="btn"><i class="fa fa-download"></i> {{$value['certificate']}}</button>
</a>
</td>
hello can you use store instead of move ? for this you need to link storage folder with this command php artisan storage:link after that use the store with the request object like this :
the first parameter is what folder you will store the pdf into your project storage/file.
the second parameter is the option (what folder you will use to store all your upload) in general i store the folder in my public folder.
you can save the path like this on the database if you want to retreive them data.
