Doesn't save entry in database for file

@laksh the controller code?

@Tray2 Here's the controller code for saving record

public function create_save(Request $request){

    $request->validate([
        'pay_per_click' => 'sometimes|required',
        'pay_per_share' => 'sometimes|required',
    ]);

    $creator = Auth::user()->name;
    
    $file = $request->file('file');
    
    if (!empty($file)){
        $fileName = $file->getClientOriginalName();
        $file->move(public_path('images'),$fileName);
    }
    
    $campaign = new NewOne();
    $campaign->tittle = $request->input('tittle');
    $campaign->budget = $request->input('budget');
    $campaign->pay_per_share = $request->input('pay_per_share');
    $campaign->pay_per_click = $request->input('pay_per_click');
    $campaign->created_by = $creator;
    if (isset($fileName)){
        $campaign->image_name = $fileName;
    }
    $campaign->post_type = $request->input('post_type');
    $campaign->save();
    
    return redirect('posts')->with('success');
    
}

@CODE-AXION yeah sure

@Ben Taylor but if i remove isset it gives me the error for undefined variable How can i solve that problem?

@laksh add $fileName = null; to the top of the method (I.e. above all the if statements) so that it is in scope.

@CODE-AXION in this case only fields data is saving in database and image name is getting empty i want image name to save into database along with other form fields

@laksh did you debugged the variable of filename is it returning null ?

if (!empty($file)){
        $fileName = $file->getClientOriginalName();
        $file->move(public_path('images'),$fileName);
	
dd($fileName);
	
    }

@CODE-AXION it doesn't work dd($fileName) and it directly saves the entry into database excluding image name

@laksh can you show me what results you actually want and what it's actually doing .

like can you show us what data is it saving into the database

@CODE-AXION so basically i want that data of all form fields was saved into single entry including the name of image which we upload but it doesn't doing like that it doesn't saving the name of image into record

@laksh so what it is actually saving into the database ? can i see the entry ?

@CODE-AXION how can i show you entry?

@CODE-AXION id => 55

tittle => new post

budget => 9787545

pay_per_share => 1232

pay_per_click => 3323

created_by => laksh11

image_name => NULL

post_type => Image

Here 's a single entry

@laksh $fileName = $file->getClientOriginalName(); so if this part is not returning null what its actually returning ? the file name or something else ?

@CODE-AXION it is not returning null the thing is that when i upload a file it saves that file immediately without submitting the form and create entry for image into databse but when i clicked on submit button and the form submits but then image is already submitted

@laksh

ok now that's weird.. well here i found something for you tell me if it still works or not !

https://maxoffsky.com/code-blog/howto-ajax-multiple-file-upload-in-laravel/

@CODE-AXION No, in this only file is saving into db i want to save fields data along with the image name into db

@laksh i think its probably a plugin issue just try without plugin and see if everything works perfectly ...

if it works without plugin than maybe we have to add some kind of parameter in the plugin or it might have a different method to do it with server side

@CODE-AXION yeah, it is working like that how i want without using plugin but i have to use plugin for the dropzone view so how should i do that?

@laksh use this library instead of dropzone https://pqina.nl/filepond/

filepond is more popular than dropzone

@CODE-AXION But in my project we need dropzone filepond doesn't use

@laksh If you are uploading the image in some other way, other than sending it along with the request, the file will always be null.

Then you need to pass the filename some other way.

This code is never ran

$file = $request->file('file');
    
    if (!empty($file)){
        $fileName = $file->getClientOriginalName();
        $file->move(public_path('images'),$fileName);
    }

@Tray2 no basically there are two requests generating one is when we click on dropzone and select file then a request is generate and file is uploaded and second request generates when we submit the form and at this request all form data is saved except of file name

@Tray2 can you suggest any other way for passing the filename?

@laksh You need to pass that in the request.

You can probably get the filename from the dropbox component.

@Tray2 umm i don't understand what do you mean to say about dropbox component how can i get from that?

@laksh Read the manual, there must be a file name property somewhere.
