uploaded file path is not working

@Sinnbeck to generate a full path to that image

@faraz73 Can you show the full method?

@Sinnbeck controller :

public function store(StoreContactRequest $request)
    {

        $file = Storage::putFile('public', $request->file('file'));

        return "<img src='$file'>";

    }

StoreContactRequest :

public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'fullname' => ['required'],
            'email',
            'phone_number',
            'home_number',
            'file' =>['file','mimetypes:image/jpg,image/png,image/jpeg'],
        ];
    }

@faraz73 Why are you returning a img tag from your store method? Is this used for ajax?

Start by using dd() to see what is stored

        $file = Storage::putFile('public', $request->file('file'));
       dd($file);

@Sinnbeck to see the file path works or not .. the upload has done successfully .. but i don't know how to get correct path to load image in view ...

@faraz73 Normally you would save the path to a model in the database, so you can get it back later on.

@Sinnbeck well ... I should make sure inserted data is correct .. this line

Storage::putFile('public', $request->file('file'));

returns path ... but not works X(

@faraz73 To test it

1. Upload image and get the path using dd() as explained
2. Add the path to the url and hit enter

@Sinnbeck Not working ..

@faraz73 "not working" isnt very informative. What happens? It says the file does not exist?

1. What is the exact url you are trying with?
2. What is the path?
3. Can you see the file in /public/storage

@Sinnbeck yes .. to get currect path .. i should use :

$file = $request->file('file')->store('public');
$path = Storage::path($file);

this one works ...

@Snapey in app/storage/public
