Request return null
Hello, i'm trying to update a image in my dashboard but when I submit the update form it always return with:
Call to a member function store() on null
I have dd and look in the request and it looks like i'm passing in a image. Any ideas how to fix that? This posed is relate to my other post: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/update-a-image-path
But here is my update method in the Controller:
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
$data = $request->except('image_path');
$data['image_path'] = request()->file('image_path')->store('images', 'public');
$camping->update($data);
return redirect('/stjornbord/tjaldsvæði/breyta');
}

can you show us the dd of request? also why do you use reques() when you have a $request being passed in.. it doesnt matter much but for code consistency use $request->file()... imo null means that image_path is null..

Just try as like below your missing some data where are you getting this camping?
public function update(Request $request, Camping $camping)
{
$data = $request->except('image_path');
$data['image_path'] = $request()->file('image_path')->store('images', 'public');
$camping->update($data);
return redirect('/stjornbord/tjaldsvæði/breyta');
}

Do you have enctype="multipart/form-data" on your form element?
<form action="/your-url" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
</form>

Thanks @edoc - There was nothing wrong with to function. But here is the final result:
$camping = Camping::where('id', '=', $id)->first();
$data = $request->except('image_path');
$data['image_path'] = request()->file('image_path')->store('images', 'public');
$camping->update($data);
