dd(Input::all());

My goal is to parse the JSON file that I got and loop through them.

I've tried

I am using Laravel version 6 and the other solutions did not work. Following worked for me:

$file = request()->fileinput;      // <input type="file" name="fileinput" />
$content = file_get_contents($file);
$json = json_decode($content, true);

Input::get is used to retrieve an input item from the request ( $_REQUEST ), you should use Input::file instead, which is used to retrieve a file from the request, and returns a Illuminate\Http\UploadedFile instance.

example : 

<?php
$file = Input::file('fileinput');
if($file === null) {
    throw new Exception('File was not sent !');
}
if($file->isReadable()) {
    $file->open('r');
    $contents = $file->fread($file->getSize());
    $json = json_decode($contents, true);
} else {
    throw new Exception('File is not readable');
}

Illuminate\Http\UploadedFile extends Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile extends Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\File extends SplFileInfo

I did this and it works for me 

Input::file('fileinput')->move(public_path(), 'fortinet_logs.json');
$string = file_get_contents(public_path().'/fortinet_logs.json');
$json = json_decode($string, true);
