Store Image to Filesystem

Better to store just name in the database.

@jirdw yup thats right bro my friend told me too but still not sure how to do that :(

https://laracasts.com/series/whats-new-in-laravel-5-3/episodes/12

On this same page I just gave example https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/uploading-images-and-storing-in-database

Here's what you can do as an overview:

Validation:

-You can specify with a Request object what kind of mime types you will allow through the form. Lookup laravel form validation and `ctrl+f mime`

DB: -store the orignal name -create a random name -check and store the mimetype (image/jpeg) -use soft deletes so that you can get the file back if it is "accidentally" deleted

Storage (depending on version, this is what I've done in 5.2):

• if you are storing these on the local server you can store it using the storage facade with a function similar to Storage::put('file')->public(). this will store it in the storage/app/public directory by default

• if you are running 5.3 run php artisan storage:link (this links the public folder to the directory mentioned earlier)

Calling an image:

• in the model create a files method and in the controller query the file. (ex. $invoice = Invoice::findOrFail('id)->with('files');

• then in your view you can call the file by doing something like {{ Storage::get($invoice->file)}}

there may need to be some more configuration on your part but at least this should give you an idea.

@Caprico i'm using same version laravel like you too bro so let me try it first, hope you assist me if i found trouble on this case again, gimme time to try and so thanks

@Caprico where should i call Storage::put('file')->public()

is it on my Controller, or Route, or else ?

@pmall help please i cant implement all the answer on my code

https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/requests#files

Docs are pretty clear and have videos here.

Basically you store the file and laravels helpers will return the URL (path) to where you put the file. Store the URL in your db.

@jekinney the other problem is i cant get the package, dont know why, my composer require always error so i need help to do step by step

i've add this in my function it's not error but not stored too

$image = $request->file('ttdcus1'); if(!empty($image)){

$imageName = 'cus'.$guests->id.'.'.$request->file('ttdcus1')->getClientOriginalExtension();

$request->file('ttdcus1')->move(base_path().'/public/img/ttd',$imageName);

You would call Storage::put in the controller's store method.

@Caprico from the code i share, what should i add ? cause i call Storage::put on Controller but still not working :(

On my controller

        if($request->hasFile('ttdcus1')) {
        $imageTempName = $request->file('ttdcus1')->getPathname();
            $imageName = $request->file('ttdcus1')->getClientOriginalName();
            $path = base_path() . '/public/img/ttd';
            $request->file('ttdcus1')->move($path , $imageName);
            }
        $keluhan = keluhan::create($request->all());
        $keluhan->ttd_pemohon = $imageName;
        $keluhan->save();

Solved. Thank You Guys for all information.

No problem!
