In this Post i will show how to upload an image on your project using the Laravel Framework.
Create Route for Upload Form
Route::get('imageuploadform', '[email protected]');
Open config/app.php and add the Input class to aliases:
'aliases' => [ 'Input' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Input::class, ],
Crate Upload Controller with imageuploadform Function
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Input;
class UploadController extends Controller {
public function imageuploadform(){
return view('displayform');
}
}
then create displayform.blade.php in resources/views/ Folder Inside
<html>
<head>
<title>Laravel Image Upload</title>
<link href='//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:100' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<style>
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
color: #B0BEC5;
display: table;
font-weight: 100;
font-family: 'Lato';
}
.main {
text-align: center;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.content {
text-align: center;
display: inline-block;
}
.title {
font-size: 96px;
margin-bottom: 40px;
}
.quote {
font-size: 24px;
}
label{
margin-right:20px;
}
form{
background:#f5f5f5;
padding:20px;
border-radius:10px;
}
input[type="submit"]{
background:#0098cb;
border:0px;
border-radius:5px;
color:#fff;
padding:10px;
margin:20px auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="main">
<div class="content">
<h1>File Upload</h1>
<form action="{{ URL::to('upload') }}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label>Select image to upload:</label>
<input type="file" name="profileimg" id="profileimg" accept="image/*">
<input type="submit" value="Upload" name="submit">
<input type="hidden" value="{{ csrf_token() }}" name="_token">
</form>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Then, you will want to add the following route
Route::post('upload', '[email protected]');
Create upload function in UploadController for Move Image to Destination Folder
public function upload(Request $request){
/* Image Format Validation */
$this->validate($request, ['profileimg' => 'mimes:jpeg,bmp,png',]); //only allow this type extension file.
$image = Input::file('profileimg');
if($image != ""){
$curentitmestap=date("Y-m-d h:i:s");
/* Upload file to Project Folder /public/upload/ */
$destinationPath = public_path().'/upload/';
$extension = $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$filename=$curentitmestap."-".$extension;
$imageupload=Input::file('profileimg')->move($destinationPath, $filename);
} else {
$filename=NULL;
}
}
You can use $filename variable for Database Operations.. Now Upload a file and Check your Destination Folder
