Laravel helper functions e.g: getClientOriginalName()

Look through the API

getClientOrigianlName() method is a part of PHP not Laravel. And here is the link of laravel helper functions https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/helpers

@st8113 I checked PHP.net docs but could not see getClientOriginalName() in there?

I have already seen the helpers docs that you linked, but it is not listed there either.

@jlrdw which API - you got a link? thanks

https://laravel.com/api/5.4/

http://api.symfony.com/3.0/Symfony/Component/HttpFoundation/File/UploadedFile.html#method_getClientOriginalName

@jlrdw thanks for the link, but that function is not showing up there either (unless I don't get it?)

It's right in the api see my updated answer

ok cool, I see it in the symfony API - thanks for that.

So out of curiosity, is it detailed anywhere which of the Symfony components are carried over to Laravel?

i.e. can I use anything in the Laravel API and the Symfony API?

thanks

You have to read the docs, Taylor adds links like

Other File Methods

There are a variety of other methods available on UploadedFile instances. Check out the API `(Taylor made a link here)` documentation for the class for more information regarding these methods.

Here API is a link to http://api.symfony.com/3.0/Symfony/Component/HttpFoundation/File/UploadedFile.html

@jlrdw ok thanks, I see that now - must have missed it first time around.
