My file images uploader was working perfectly fine and out of no where it started to give me error only for the JPG files. I didn't do any changes on the code in controller or form submission .. all i did was composer upgrade to version 2 . not sure if that is even what's causing the problem.
in my controller I have
Validator::make($request->all(),
['crs_img'=>"required|file|image|mimes:jpg,png,jpeg|max:5000"])->validate();
$ext = $request->file("crs_img")->getClientOriginalExtension();
$stringImageReFormat = time();
my form
<div class="form-group">
<label for="image">Upload Course Card Image </label>
<input type="file" class="" name="crs_img" id="crs_img" required>
</div>
I get an error [ file must be an image] .. though if i tried png , it goes through ! the weird thing is that the very same picture was uploaded successfully a few hours ago.
The problem also same in the "picture edit " form. only accepts whatever is not jpg.
any hints what might be the cause of this
Use just mimes validation rules.
'crs_img' => 'required|mimes:jpeg,png|max:5000'
<div class="form-group">
<label for="image">Upload Course Card Image</label>
<input type="file" name="crs_img" id="image" required>
</div>
Also display validation errors, then you can see what's going on

Hello @michaloravec .. thank you for ur input, appreciated .. actually this solved it , but what do you think could be the reason why it was working normally and then stopped out of no where .. thanks again <3
I don't know.
@MichalOravec it seems the image validation rule only accepts .jpg from Laravel 8 or higher, according to the documentation. In 7.x or lower it only accepts jpeg, png, bmp, gif, svg, or webp https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/validation#rule-image https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/validation#rule-image (bumping an old topic here, but was looking for this issue myself, and the answer might help others)
