Line 15, why do you return the filename there?

I just want to check value of this. Without return it doesn't work too.

Add 'files' => true To your Form array.

And also fix your path (seems like there is a typo):

user/admin/products/addd to user/admin/products/add

How can I move files to path /public/uploads/products

Here is a snippet of some of my own code that might help you.

$image = Input::file('image');
		$filename = date('Y-m-d-H:i:s')."-".$image->getClientOriginalName();
		$path = public_path('images/products/'.$filename);
		Image::make($image->getRealPath())->resize(200, 200)->save($path);
		$product->image = 'images/products/'.$filename;

Please note though that I am using the great Intervention image package for laravel.

How can I set file type, I mean that user can only upload images with extension .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png?

You would do that in your validation model (assuming you are using some kind of package).

Example:

'image'=>'required|image|mimes:jpeg,jpg,png,bmp,gif,svg',

I did it in this way but I got The image must be an image. The image must be a file of type: jpeg, jpg, png, bmp, gif, svg.

I'm not sure it's related, but did you add: 'files' => true As I suggested earlier?

Yes I did.

Please make sure that you are in fact uploading a file of the specified type (i've failed on this myself).

I really do I'm choosing 6.jpg it has proper extension

@barantr90: how does your model looks like?

This is how i Upload files and images (with the intervention package https://github.com/Intervention/image) and re-size image
