Problem with image upload using array (name="img[]")

Hello guys,

I'm facing a problem when trying to upload an image in a repeating field, here is a part of my form:


{!! Form::label('name','Image') !!}
{!! Form::file('img[]', null, ['class'=>'form-control']) !!}

Here are my casts:

protected $casts = [
        'title' => 'array',
        'desc' => 'array',
        'img' => 'array',
    ];
}

Here is my Store method:

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $files = Input::file('img');
    foreach($files as $file) {
        $destinationPath = public_path('/images/uploads/');
        $filename = $file->getClientOriginalName();
        $file->move($destinationPath, $filename);
        $test['img'] = $filename;
    }

    $this->test->create($request->all());
    return redirect()->route('admin.tests');
}

I can make the Title and Desc work but when trying to upload an image I get this:


App\Test {#726
         id: "15",
         title: "["test1"]",
         desc: "["test2"]",
         img: "[{}]",
         created_at: "2016-03-29 03:16:39",
         updated_at: "2016-03-29 03:16:39",
       },

How can my img column receive the path instead of '{}' only?

Thanks!

use this to get the image filename

$request->file('img')

@JackD I get the following error
strrpos() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given
when replacing the

$filename = $file->getClientOriginalName();

for

$filename = $request->file('img');

Add dd($files); in your store method to check if it gets something from the image file input

Yea, it gets the following:

array:1 [▼
  0 => UploadedFile {#212 ▼
    -test: false
    -originalName: "IMG_3163.jpg"
    -mimeType: "image/jpeg"
    -size: 1613049
    -error: 0
    path: "/private/var/folders/yp/336b1bzn14n6yfrdxq4r34fm0000gn/T"
    filename: "phpL8M9mO"
    basename: "phpL8M9mO"
    pathname: "/private/var/folders/yp/336b1bzn14n6yfrdxq4r34fm0000gn/T/phpL8M9mO"
    extension: ""
    realPath: false
    writable: false
    readable: false
    executable: false
    file: false
    dir: false
    link: false
  }
]

Check your create method also if the img is properly referenced to it

Level 6

If it is properly referenced to your create method check the responsible model for the image and check if the "img" is included inside protected fillable

Yea it is inside the $fillable.

Well, I created the $test and got the image file name inside my array, like:

App\Test {#694
         id: "4",
         title: "["my title"]",
         desc: "["my desc"]",
         img: ""img_test.jpg"",
         created_at: "2016-03-29 14:04:06",
         updated_at: "2016-03-29 14:04:06",
       },

But I get the following error now when calling the img on my index:

htmlentities() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given

My bad, got it.

It was trying to convert the old imgs with arrays inside when it was wrong, like: img: {[]}, so I deleted them and made it work.

But now I got another problem, it is storing just the last image into my array img:

Like:


App\Test {#677
         id: "9",
         title: "["teste","teste2"]",
         desc: "["teste","teste2"]",
         img: ""img2.jpg"",
         created_at: "2016-03-29 14:21:38",
         updated_at: "2016-03-29 14:21:38",
       },

It was supposed to be:

App\Test {#677
         id: "9",
         title: "["teste","teste2"]",
         desc: "["teste","teste2"]",
         img: "["img1.jpg","img2.jpg"]",
         created_at: "2016-03-29 14:21:38",
         updated_at: "2016-03-29 14:21:38",
       },
