So I am having problems storing my picture of the user in the specified directory. The image is already in the database but when I call the data it does not show anything. How do I store it in the public folder and the database here is my lines of code:
RegisterController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Hash;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class RegisterController extends Controller
{
public function signin()
{
return view('register', [
'register' => true
]);
}
public function register(Request $request)
{
// Laravel Eloquent
$user = User::where('email', $request->get('email'))->first();
if ($user) {
// if user / email exists
return view('register', [
'register' => false
]);
} else {
// create user
User::create([
'name' => $request->get('name'),
'email' => $request->get('email'),
'password' => Hash::make($request->get('password')),
'user_type' => 'admin',
'bdate' => $request->get('bdate'),
'contact_no' => '',
'profile_image' => $request->file('profile_image')->store('http://localhost:8000/storage/images/'),
//...
]);
return redirect(route('login.login', ['registration' => 1]));
}
}
}
and here is the registration form
register.blade.php

you can use Storage:: class to do that
'profile_image' => $request->file('profile_image') ? Storage::disk('public')->put('images',$request->profile_image) : null
then it will store path inside database to get full url of that file you can again use Storage::url()
like
$url = \Storage::disk('public')->url($user->profile_image)
you need to add enctype to your form tag like this
<form class="user" method="POST" action="{{ route('register.register') }}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
