Image file not being stored in laravel project

Hello guys I need some help from you guys. I am creating a laravel project where I have modified the default users table to store more informations of users like name and user image file name. So that I had to modify 'RegisterController' class where 'create' function has been modified and I have also added an 'update' method to store the uploaded image file. Below is my code of 'RegisterController' class:

    protected function update(array $data)
{
    $path = $data['img']->storeAs('/public','ohgod  ');
    return $path;
}


protected function create(array $data)
{

    $filename;


        $filename = $data['img']->getClientOriginalName();
        $filesize = $data['img']->getClientSize();
        $this->update($data);


    return User::create([
        'name' => $data['name'],
        'img_name' => $filename,
        'img_size' => $filesize,
        'username' => $data['username'],
        'dob' => $data['dob'],
        'email' => $data['email'],
        'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
    ]);
}

With this I also had to modify the form to get add informations of the user. And now when I register as a new user.I get every thing right in users table but image file is not stored in the server.

I am new in laravel so I don't know whats wrong with my code. I also haven't got any error messages. So help me guys.

I got the file storing code from the official site of laravel https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/filesystem

You have move image to folder before inserting into db

 $destinationPath='images';
       $filename = $data['img']->getClientOriginalName();

        //move iamge to folder
        $fileName = str_random(30).'.'.$data['img']->clientExtension();
        $data['img']->move($destinationPath, $fileName);

moved file will be available in public/images folder

you can go to Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\RegistersUsers trait and put your image code into register method

public function register(Request $request)
{
    $this->validator($request->all())->validate();
    $fields = $request->all();
    if ($request->hasFile('avatar'))
        $fields['avatar'] = $request->avatar->store('users', ['disk' => 'public']);

    $user = $this->create($fields);

    event(new Registered($user));

    $this->guard()->login($user);

    return $this->registered($request, $user)
        ?: redirect($this->redirectPath());
}

then go to App\Http\Controllers\Auth\RegisterController and append image into data array in the create method

protected function create(array $data)
{

    return User::create([
        'name' => $data['name'],
        'username' => $data['username'],
        'email' => $data['email'],
        'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
        'avatar' => $data['avatar'],
        'headline' => $data['headline'],
        'summary' => $data['summary'],
    ]);
}

$image = time().'.'.$data['img']->getClientOriginalExtension();

$data['img']->move(public_path('images'), $image );

best way to store image in public images folder before sending to db.

If you are using laravel form then use

{!! Form::open(['url' => url('background'), `'files'=>true,` 'method' => 'post', 'class' => 'form-horizontal']) !!}

and if you are using simple html form then use below code 

<form enctype="multipart/form-data"><form>

i hope it works for you.
