mmm, what returns Input::hasFile( 'image' ) ??

also, in your form setup, you need to specified the files attribute

{{ Form::open( [ 'url' => '...', 'method' => 'post', 'files' => true ] ) }}

Thanks arcollector for helping, but this brought me back to the same error after your modification. can you go through the whole code? thanks so much.

I found this error before. My PHP.ini setting were the culprit for this. Post_max_size or upload_max_size werent allowing the image to processed as the image file size broke these settings.

PS the return for hasFile() is a boolean not the file itself.

I did as advised but giving a new error that " Intervention \ Image \ Exception \ ImageNotWritableException " what could have caused this again?

The new error is Intervention \ Image \ Exception \ ImageNotWritableException. Can someone help out. I've been stuck with this for 4days now. Thanks

Are you sure the directory public_path().'/img/products/ exists? Do you have permission to write to it? If not, try a 777 chmod to products/

Yes it exists. I'm developing locally on windows. its also case sensitive,

Hi all !

I have also the same problem but with another function : Call to a member function getClientOriginalExtension() on a non-object

But everything is fine, my image is uploaded I can create a thumbnail and my function send me a 200 Response.

My form has a files => true but can't figure why this error is showing.

My function

	public function imageUpload(){

		$file = Input::file('image');
		$soliste = Soliste::findOrFail(Input::get('id'));


		$input = array('image' => $file);
		$rules = array(
			'image' => 'image'
		);
		$validator = Validator::make($input, $rules);
		if ( $validator->fails() )
		{
			return Response::json(['success' => false, 'errors' => $validator->getMessageBag()->toArray()]);

		}
		else {
			
			$destinationPath = 'uploads/avatars/';
			$old_image = $destinationPath.$soliste->avatar;
			$old_preview = 'preview_'.$old_image;

			// Deleting old images - preview & original
			if(File::isFile($old_image) && File::isFile($old_preview)){
				File::delete($old_image);
				File::isFile($old_preview)
			}

			$filename = Sanitize::string($soliste->firstname).'-'.Sanitize::string($soliste->lastname).'-'.str_random(5).'.'.$file->getClientOriginalExtension();

			// Upload Original version
			$file->move($destinationPath, $filename);
			
			// create a preview to speed-up upload and keep aspect ratio
			$preview = Image::make($destinationPath.$filename);
			$preview->resize(500,null,true);
			$preview_filename = $destinationPath.'preview-'.$filename;
			$preview->save($preview_filename);

			// saving model
			$soliste->avatar = $destinationPath.$filename;
			$soliste->save();
			
			return Response::json(['success' => true, 'file' => asset($preview_filename)]);
		}
	}

I also made a var_dump of the file inout and everything seems fine

file var output

Really, it made me frustrated for days now on solving the issue. got your error which was why i changed option but still issues. on Linux, it seems to work. My file permissions are accurate on windows. what could have been this problem?

hello everyone, As i have solved this problem and i have made use in my project for uploading images.

public function store(Request $request) {

$input = $request->all(); if(isset($input['photo']))

{ $destinationPath = 'image'; // upload path $fileName = str_replace(' ','',$input['name']).''.rand(11111,99999).'_'.$request->file('photo')->getClientOriginalName(); $move_photo = $request->file('photo')->move(base_path(). '/'.$destinationPath, $fileName); $allPath = $move_photo; $type = pathinfo($allPath, PATHINFO_EXTENSION); $data = file_get_contents($allPath); $base64 = 'data:image/' . $type . ';base64,' . base64_encode($data); $input['photo'] = $base64;

}

else {

$input['photo'] = null;
}

$files = new Files;
$files->photo = $input['photo'];
$files->save();

}
