Laravel Valet and file uploads

@nmihaylov That does not make sense :)

Each laravel project has a public folder and the index.php file is what boots the whole application. So you have a different issue, maybe permissions or something, but other than that, I completely disagree with what you said above.

@Nakov sorry, maybe my explanation was not clear enough. Here is what I mean - if you add another ****.php file into the public folder of the project like phpinfo.php it will not be executed if you are using the default Laravel Valet driver.

In my case into the public folder I have a subfolder called "uploads" where another index.php file is presented and the uploading logic is added into this file. This is why I said that ***.php files are not supported but missed to clarify my case.

Below I'm pasting what I have added as custom LocalValerDriver in the project folder in order to execute the other .php files into the public folder:

<?php

class LocalValetDriver extends LaravelValetDriver
{

    private $site_folder = '/public';
    /**
     * Determine if the driver serves the request.
     *
     * @param  string  $sitePath
     * @param  string  $siteName
     * @param  string  $uri
     * @return void
     */
    public function serves($sitePath, $siteName, $uri)
    {
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Determine if the incoming request is for a static file.
     *
     * @param  string  $sitePath
     * @param  string  $siteName
     * @param  string  $uri
     * @return string|false
     */
    public function isStaticFile($sitePath, $siteName, $uri)
    {
        if (file_exists($staticFilePath = $sitePath.$this->site_folder.$uri)) {
            return $staticFilePath;
        }

        return false;
    }

    /**
     * Get the fully resolved path to the application's front controller.
     *
     * @param  string  $sitePath
     * @param  string  $siteName
     * @param  string  $uri
     * @return string
     */
    public function frontControllerPath($sitePath, $siteName, $uri)
    {
        $path = $sitePath.$this->site_folder;

        return strpos($uri, '.php')
            ? $path.$uri
            : $sitePath.'/public/index.php';
    }
}

@nmihaylov okay, that makes sense, but that's really reasonable, because now what you've done is you've exposed every php file in your project to the public :) so everyone can go and see your code.

@Nakov This is only for my local env (my laptop) and not for production server so we are safe here. The real reason behind the other ****.php files into public folder is still something I need to understand why it is done this way and how it is working because it still does not upload files.
