Getting the real path of the uploaded file without saving to the project directory

@Sinnbeck I mean real path of original file

@luqmansolihin So the name? Or do you mean the path on the computer it was uploaded from (that isnt possible) ?

@Sinnbeck For example I am upload file from C:\Users\anonym\Downloads\img.jpg. how to get this path?

@luqmansolihin Not possible. Your browser does not allow the local path to be shown. The only thing you can get is the img.jpg part

@Sinnbeck then if I will continue the file to the Rest API, should it be saved to storage first?

@luqmansolihin Do you need a backup of it? If not, you can probably just send the contents of the file directly.

@Sinnbeck I try to upload with $request->file('img')->getRealPath() it always fails because RestAPI asks for file with extension .jpg not .tmp

@luqmansolihin Show your actual code instead please :)

@Sinnbeck this is my code

    $params = $request->validate([
        'name' => 'required',
        'description' => 'required',
        'is_active' => 'required',
        'start_date' => 'required',
        'end_date' => 'required'
    ]);

    $response = Http::withToken($token)
        ->attach('img', $request->file('img')->getContent())
        ->post(config('api.host').'banner-promo', $params)
        ->object();

but always failed.

@luqmansolihin Seems you are missing an argument

$response = Http::withToken($token)
        ->attach('img', $request->file('img')->getContent(), $request->file('img')->getClientOriginalName())
        ->post(config('api.host').'banner-promo', $params)
        ->object();

@luqmansolihin First you upload the file, then you move the file to the proper location.
