Laravel: The file was not uploaded due to an unknown error

Question

I am trying to upload a file to two different locations. The lcoations being /2x/ adn /3x/. It uploads the file on 3x but doesn't on 2x and throws this error:

The file was not uploaded due to an unknown error

Here is what i am doing:

$photo = $request->file('photo');

    if (isset($photo)) {
        if ($photo != null || $photo != '') {

            $imageSize = getimagesize($photo);
            $resolution = $imageSize[0] . 'x' . $imageSize[1];

            if ($resolution == '300x300' || $resolution == '450x450') {

                if (!file_exists(base_path('uploads/custom_avatar'))) {
                    mkdir(base_path('uploads/custom_avatar'), 0777, true);
                }

                $resolution = "3x";

                $uploadPath = base_path('uploads/custom_avatar/' . $resolution . '/');

                $otherImageResolution = '2x';
                $otherImagePath = base_path('uploads/custom_avatar/' . $otherImageResolution . '/');
                //echo $otherImagePath;exit;
                // saving image
                $fileName = $child->id . '_' . time() . '.png';

                $photo->move($uploadPath, $fileName);
                $photo->move($otherImagePath, $fileName);

                // creating records
                $childImage = Images::addPhoto($child->id, $fileName, $resolution);
                $otherImage = Images::addPhoto($child->id, $fileName, $otherImageResolution);

                if ($childImage && $otherImage) {
                    $result = Child::createChildResponseData($child);
                    \Log::info('Child avatar added Successfully' . json_encode($childImage));
                    return response()->json([
                        'status' => $this->SUCCESS,
                        'response' => $result,
                    ], $this->SUCCESS);
                } 

Any help?

Solution 1

You can try this:

$request->file('photo')->move($destination_path, $file_name);

Add DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR between path and filename if needed and copy that file at new location

copy($destination_path.$file_name, $new_path.$new_file_name);

Solution 2

Check your code if your file upload code is running two times.

I was facing the same issue & then I find that my file upload code is running two times.

after commenting one of them it's working fine.
