Question

I want to store my images in database as a blob. not as a file path . How can I do that? I use Laravel .

Answer 1

This might do the job.

$path = $request->file('file')->getRealPath();    
$logo = file_get_contents($path);
$base64 = base64_encode($logo);
$account->logo = $base64;
$account->save();
