Public Path Upload image Issue

    $file = Input::file('photo');

    $filename = 'uploads/', time(). '-' . $file->getClientOriginalName();

        $file = $file->move(public_path().'/'.$filename);

        $post->photo = $filename;

The above code is creating a folder within the uploads directory. The folder that is being created is the name of the photo. For example 1421958765-photo.jpg is the name of the directory and storing a file in that folder called "phpZUSJI". Then when i go to the url path of the image like domain.com/uploads/1421958765-photo.jpg its stating -> This webpage has a redirect loop.

when i look at the string in my DB table its: uploads/1421958765-photo.jpg w/o (/) in front of the path should be /uploads/1421958765-photo.jpg

Try this :

$file = Input::file('photo');

$filename = time(). '-' . $file->getClientOriginalName();

$file = $file->move(public_path().'/uploads/', $filename);

$post->photo = '/uploads/'.$filename;

thanks. worked great.

Hi Rachid, I am using Lumen for api and my some apis have file uploading feature. Could you please suggest me how can we upload file in Lumen by api. BTW i have tried your code to upload image but system says 'public_path()' is not defined. I did not find where is public_path() defined and how can i use it in a controller to upload an image in public folder? kindly share your suggestion. Thanks a lot :)
