I am trying to save an image into the public folder with the company name in a form.
I have this in my controller
public function store(ServiceRequest $request)
{
$imageName = time().'.'.$request->logo_light->extension();
$request->logo_light->move(public_path('services'), $imageName);
//Validate all request
$serviceDetails = $request->validated();
$services = $this->serviceRepository->createService($serviceDetails);
return redirect('/system-integrators');
}
Although this code saves inside the public folder but in the database it saves as C:\wamp\tmp\php933.tmp
I want it to save like this companyname.jpg
Use associative array instead with the name in it instead of $serviceDetails
$data = $request->only(['your', 'properties', 'without', 'image_name']);
$data['image_name'] = $imageName;
$services = $this->serviceRepository->createService($data);
@MohamedTammam it works but how to i save with the name from the form assuming the form has an input field of name
@monstajamss Then you get the name like that $request->name
@MohamedTammam i did this
$imageName = $request->company_name.'.'.$request->logo_light->extension();
$request->logo_light->move(public_path('services'), $imageName);
$data['logo_light'] = $imageName;
But it saved as company_name
@monstajamss isn't that what you want?
I have a form with input name company_name so i want the image uploaded to save as the company name in the form.
For example if the company name inputted is facebook, when an image is uploaded it should save as facebook.png or facebook.jpg
@monstajamss That should work.
$imageName = $request->company_name.'.'.$request->logo_light->extension();
use dd with $data before you save and see its values.
@MohamedTammam what if i have another logo in the form which is logo_dark how do i store it without repeating code?
@monstajamss Use store method: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/filesystem#specifying-a-file-name
