Upload image in Laravel

Question

I try these code in controller:

public function uploadimage(Request $request)
    {
        if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
            $destinationPath = 'uploads';
            $files = $request->image;
            $file_name = $files->getClientOriginalName();
            $files->move($destinationPath, $file_name);
            echo "Complete";
        } else {
            echo "No File";
        }
    }

My Html input file:

 <input name="image" type="file" id="image"/>

but i can't upload. Any idea?

Meanwhile this works differently:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class UserAvatarController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Update the avatar for the user.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function update(Request $request)
    {
        $path = $request->file('avatar')->store('avatars');
        return $path;
    }
}

Answer 2

you can use storage::putFile('folder_name', $request->image) this will return automatic generated filename and you can store that in your database.

And make sure your have your default file system set to public and your form has this enctype="multipart/form-data"
