File upload and URL

I uploaded files using this code :

$file = $request->file('project_img'); $ext = $file->extension(); $filename = $p_id.".".$ext; $file->storeAs('img', $filename);

The file is saved under storage/app/img and the file name in my database table , please how do i reference the file url in src attribute.

I think you're looking for the storage_path() helper function. https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/helpers#method-storage-path

// Something like this.
$filePath = storage_path('app/img/fileName.png');

The storage/app folders are private to your code and NOT available to the public.

You need to either save the image in something like public/img or create a symlink to make the files appear that they are in the public folder.

@Snapey is right. For some reason I thought you wanted to do something else with the file other than putting it in the src attribute of an img tag.

Thank you for the help.
