I have my uploads folder in the same level as the storage folder and would like to upload file to the uploads folder but I am getting error message
failed to open stream: Permission denied
I am using the php function
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['picture']['tmp_name'], "uploads/" . $_FILES['picture']['name']);
and would like to continue using that not the laravel one
Storage::disk('local')->put($file->getFilename().'.'.$extension, File::get($file));
as this does not work for me the question is how to get the move file function to take the storage path or get the permission to my desired storage folder
Hey
I would use the Storage::disk('local') method (or why is it important for you to use the php function?).
Note that the root directory of Storage::disk('local') is storage/app.
So I recommend to create there a subdirectory "uploads" and store your files into it:
Storage::disk('local')->put('uploads/' . $file->getFilename().'.'.$extension, File::get($file));
So your file is located at:
storage/app/uploads/file.txt
thanks for the reply but the storage disk path does not work within the mobile devices environment .I can only upload on the desktop, if I use my mobile the file is not uploaded I get error
file does not exists on the path
thats why will prefer to use straight php if you know how or why that is please help
Hi Tim
Ok, I didn't try it out with a mobile device. Could you try this:
Storage::disk('local')->move($_FILES['picture']['tmp_name'], 'uploads/' . $file->getFilename() . '.' . $extension);
(I haven't tested this solution...)
thanks man appreciate it
No problem, glad I could help you.
