Undefined variable: image

I am trying to add image with other stuffs to the database and struck here. The problem is when uploading image in database table.

Without image, everything is ok. here is my code:

public function store(CategoryRequest $request)
{
    if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
        $fileName = $request->file('image')->getClientOriginalExtension();
        if ($request->file('image')->move('images/categories/', $fileName)) {
            $image = $fileName;
        }
    }
    Category::create([
        'name' => $request->name,
        'latin' => $request->latin,
        'parent_id' => $request->parent_id,
        'image' => $image,
    ]);
    return redirect()->route('categories.index');
}

I get this error:

Undefined variable: image

You're declaring $image inside the if statement.

Replace the following line:

'image' => $image,

with:

'image' => $image ?? null,

Or make sure the variable is set before at first

public function store(CategoryRequest $request)
{
    $image = '';
    if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
        $fileName = $request->file('image')->getClientOriginalExtension();
        if ($request->file('image')->move('images/categories/', $fileName)) {
            $image = $fileName;
        }
    }
    Category::create([
        'name' => $request->name,
        'latin' => $request->latin,
        'parent_id' => $request->parent_id,
        'image' => $image,
    ]);
    return redirect()->route('categories.index');
}
