Upload File/Image with class Storage Laravel 5.2

Question

First, I'm sorry for my bad English.

I want to upload a file/image from my driver to my project directory using class Storage. I want that every file/image will be uploaded/moved to my public/img directory. I use Form::file('img') on my views and on my post controller, I write this

 $img = Input::file('img');
    if ($img !== null) {
        $filename       = $img->getClientOriginalName();
        Storage::disk('uploads')->put('filename', $filename);

        $jenis->img     = $filename;  
    }

and on my config/filesystem I write this

'uploads' => [
        'driver' => 'local',
        'root'   => public_path() . '/img',
    ],

But, nothing happen on my public/img directory, no new file/image on there. Can u help me whats wrong with my code? and I hope u guys can help me with another good way on how to upload a file/image in laravel

Solution 1

Looks like your problem is you're not storing the file, you're referencing its name not its contents.

Try this:

Storage::disk('uploads') -> put($filename, file_get_contents($img -> getRealPath()));

Solution 2

    if ($request->hasFile('original_pic')) {
            $original_pic = $request->file('original_pic');

            $file_extension=$original_pic>getClientOriginalExtension();
            $filename = time() . '.' . $file_extension;

            # upload original image
            Storage::put('ArticlesImages/' . $filename, (string) file_get_contents($original_pic), 'public');

            # croped image from request.
            $image_parts = explode(";base64,", $request->input('article_image'));
            $image_base64 = base64_decode($image_parts[1]);

            Storage::put('ArticlesImages/croped/' . $filename, (string) $image_base64, 'public');

            # get image from s3 or local storage.
            $image_get = Storage::get('ArticlesImages/croped/' . $filename);

            # resize 50 by 50 1x
            $image_50_50 = Image::make($image_get)
                    ->resize(340, 227)
                    ->encode($file_extension, 80);

            Storage::put('ArticlesImages/1x/' . $filename, (string) $image_50_50, 'public');

            $file_url = Storage::url('ArticlesImages/croped/' . $filename);

            return response()->json(['success' => true, 'filename' => $filename, 'file_url' => $file_url], 200);
        } 

Solution 3

In my filesystem file I configure my image directory in this way:

'uploads' => [
    'driver' => 'local',
    'root'   => public_path("/img"),
],

I think that you can use your way but is another point.

To get the file from your view you should use File::get Laravel function:

$filename = $img->getClientOriginalName();
Storage::disk('uploads')->put($filename, \File::get($file));

With this would be enough, you save the file with the name of file uploaded in directory specify in filesystem.

Thanks Matt It works, but I dont really undestand what happen on that put(). Can u explain to me? Thanks

[Darma Kurniawan Harefa]

Thanks Juan but class File dosnt work for me. Need to define/use a File class?

[Matt McDonald]

@DarmaKurniawanHarefa The first argument passed to put is the full path for the file (as you've set a default folder in the config this can just be the name of the file if you don't want it in a subfolder). The second argument is the contents of the file. So using the php file_get_contents function you're passing the file's contents to the Storage put method. The getRealPath method on your input file passes the real path of the temporary file that's been uploaded to your server.

It wouldn't be necessary, but try to define in this way: ´use Illuminate/Contracts/Filesystem/Filesystem´ in your controller. Anyway, what error show you laravel?

Perfect! Thanks :D

\File::get($file); is that file or img?
