Image not uploading to MySQL database in Laravel - mysql

Question

The form portion of my view file is:
<form action="/admin/sliders" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-3 form-group">
<h4 class="slide">Slide photo name</h4>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-8 form-group">
<input class="form-control inbox-del" id="slide_name" name="slider_name" placeholder="Add slide name" type="text">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-3 form-group">
<h4 class="slide">Add photo for slide</h4>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6 form-group slide">
<input type="file" id="slider_link" name="slider_link" placeholder="Add a photo" >
</div>
<div class="col-sm-2 form-group">
<button class="btn btn-primary inbox-del pull-right"> Add Slider </button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
And the controller file is as follows:
public function store(Request $request){
$image = $request->file('image');
$filename = time().$image;
$gallery = new Slider;
$gallery->slider_name= $request->slider_name;
$gallery->slider_link = $filename;
$gallery->save();
$request->slider_link->move(public_path('uploaded'),$gallery->slider_name);
return $request->slider_link;
}
And I get the error: FatalErrorException
Call to a member function move() on null. All the text data is inserted into the database. But the image is not placed in the uploaded directory.

You need to use getClientOriginalName function to get filename.
$image = $request->file('image')->getClientOriginalName();
