Laravel - File Uploading issues using a virtual host

I have a problem regarding uploading a file to my server with laravel in a virtual host.

Here's the case: when I try to upload an have a link to the absolute path like this:

if ($file->move( 'laravel.dev/upload', $file->getClientOriginalName() )) {
                    echo 'uploaded';
                }

The file can be uploaded successsfully though it will create a folder named "laravel.dev" which is my host and inside of it creates another folder named "upload". On the other side, If I set my code like this: 

if ($file->move( asset('uploaded'), $file->getClientOriginalName() )) {
                    echo 'uploaded';
                }

It throws this error: Laravel Error

What I wanted to achieve is to upload the file directly to the "upload" folder I created in "projectname/public/" public folder. How can I achieve that?

As Juan posted, you are using url paths instead of file paths. Laravel have some path helpers to help you with this problem.

If you would want to select a folder like public/uploaded you can use public_path().'/uploaded. If you would want to selected a folder like app/storage/uploaded you can use storage_path().'/uploaded.

In your example you can use this code:

if ($file->move( public_path().'/uploaded', $file->getClientOriginalName() )) {
    echo 'uploaded';
}

You can use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] instead.

$var = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/uploads';

if ( $file->move($var, $file->getClientOriginalName()) ) {
    echo 'uploaded';
}

You use path not URLs like laravel.dev/upload.
