Can't upload a file in Laravel 5
I'm having a hard time getting file uploads to work in Laravel 5. When I try to get the file from the request and dump it, it returns "null".
Response:
null
array (size=3)
'_token' => string 'lYgV8SPSOrcU7bYhQPL18Sggmvn7FGylD3AHpaL2' (length=40)
'name' => string 'Test' (length=4)
'template_file' => string '2-110P61AH80-L.jpg' (length=18)
Controller:
/**
* Process the uploaded form.
*
* @Post("form/create")
*
* @return Response
*/
public function postCreate(FormCreateRequest $request)
{
var_dump($request->file('template_file'));
var_dump($request->all());
return 'Posted';
}
Request:
class FormCreateRequest extends Request {
protected $dontFlash = ['template_file'];
/**
* Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
*
* @todo Validate mime-types.
*
* @return array
*/
public function rules()
{
return [
'name' => 'required',
'template_file' => 'required|max:1024',
'javascript_file' => 'max:1024',
'css_file' => 'max:1024'
];
}
/**
* Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
*
* @return bool
*/
public function authorize()
{
return true;
}
}

Is this a bug or am I just missing something very obvious?
Level 1
Ugh, basic mistake. Too busy looking at Laravel that I made a stupid error in my HTML.
Thanx for pointing that out!

@TimVanDijck Did the solution provided by @bestmomo worked for you? I am trying to upload 2 files, a PDF and an image, my form already has the enctype="multipart/formdata" attribute as I am creating the form this way {!! Form::open(['url' => 'signup/store', 'files' => 'true']) !!}. Any ideas? I tried removing the apostrophe from 'true' (like this->true), but I'm still getting null from dumping the value of the form field.

@CarlosGarcell can you post your complete form here?
Level 5
@TimVanDijck I just did the same on my "Edit" form. I sat here scratching my head for an hour trying to figure out why my files weren't passing and just realized how silly of a mistake it was.

File has been uploaded but cant find in the specified directory

@philkobby
If you used $request->file('file')->store() or File / Storage helpers, default directory is storage/app. But it's depends on current storage driver at config/filesystem.php.
If you just upload file via form, you need to save it into directory.
$request->file('file_field_name')->store('images')
