Storing Pictures To mysql Using Laravel - mysql

Question

I'm trying to store some upload pictures to my database using laravel. Everything goes well, everything got stored, but for the file, they keep storing a bin file of 38B, I've tried reading it to .Txt files and it has a path to /Applications/MAMP/tmp/php/phpUzMXbn.
Here is my function code :
Route::post('/FruitCreate',function(Request $request){
$fruit = new fruit;
$fruit->name = $request->name;
$fruit->price = $request->price;
$fruit->picture = $request->image;
$fruit->save();
return redirect('FruitsChangingPricePanel');
My form blade :
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST" action="{{ url('FruitCreate') }}" >
{{ csrf_field() }}
<input type="text" name='name'>
<input type="text" name='price'>
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000000" />
<input type="file" name='image'>
<button type='submit'> submit </button>
thank u For Your Help !!

Answer 1

You can do may be something like that:
$file = $request->file('image');
$imageContent = $file->openFile()->fread($file->getSize());
$fruit = new fruit; $fruit>picture = $imageContent; $fruit>save();
Note: Your column type must be Blob

Answer 2

because you are trying to save directly bin.
try this one
$file = Input::file('file');
$destinationPath = public_path(). '/uploads/';
$filename = $file->getClientOriginalName();
$file->move($destinationPath, $filename);
echo $filename;
//echo '<img src="uploads/'. $filename . '"/>';
$user = ImageTest::create([
'filename' => $filename,
]);

Firstly, you should get your image and then store it to public/uploads/fruits folder.And after that, you are saving the path to your picture to DB.
$fruit = new fruit;
$fruit->name = $request->name;
$fruit->price = $request->price;
if ($request->has('image')) {
if (!file_exists(public_path('uploads/fruits/'))) {
mkdir(public_path('uploads/fruits/'));
}
if (!file_exists(public_path('uploads/fruits/' . date('FY') . '/'))) {
mkdir(public_path('uploads/fruits/' . date('FY') . '/'));
}
$image = $request->file('image');
$filename = public_path('uploads').'/fruits/' . date('FY') . '/' . str_random() . '.' . $image->guessExtension();
\Image::make($image->getRealPath())->encode('jpg')->resize(220, 220)->put($filename);
$fruit->picture = $filename;
}
$fruit->save();
