Thanks, what's the difference between strtolower() and Str::lower()? Just laravel way of coding?

https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/master/src/Illuminat... Str::lower() == mb_strtolower (== strtolower with multibyte string support)

Thanks, barry. Maybe you know more convenient way of naming duplicate files? :)

If you save the page first, you can also place it in a folder with the same id, so you have uploads/123/image.jpg and uploads/124/image.jpg. If the filename isn't important, you can just use uniqid() . '.' .$image->getClientOriginalExtension() and don't worry about the original filename. If the file isn't in the public folder, you can save the original filename and the hashed filename, so you can return a file with the original filename, without worrying about duplicates (but more cpu intensive).

But the suggested solutions should work fine..

When i am using:

$image->getClientOriginalName();

It prints out this: filename.jpg

How can you use that:

$image->getClientOriginalExtension();

if above prints a filename plus file extension?

You can use pathinfo to get the name without extension.
