I am trying to upload a photo with Request::file('file')->move('location/file.type');

But it doesn't seem work, it creates new folder with the name of the file. Not upload the file.

I got really confused of this because in another controller it works very well with the same code.

Here is the controller:

/*
* upload the avatar
*/

if ($request->hasFile('avatar')){
	$file = $request->file('avatar');

	$name = str_random(15).".{$file->getClientOriginalExtension()}";

	// cek if the name already exists
	while (\File::exists("images/travelagents/avatar/{$name}")){
		$name = str_random(10).'.'.$file->getClientOriginalExtension();
	}

	$file->move("images/travelagents/avatar/{$name}");

	$travelAgent->avatar = $name;
}

$travelAgent->save();

and the result was:

###when i change the code

/*
* upload the avatar
*/

if ($request->hasFile('avatar')){
	$file = $request->file('avatar');

	$name = "test.{$file->getClientOriginalExtension()}";

	$file->move("images/travelagents/avatar/{$name}");

	$travelAgent->avatar = $name;
}

$travelAgent->save();

And the result:
