how to get file object laravel

I send file with form like this

<input type="file" class="form-control" name="images[]" multiple enctype="multipart/form-data"/>

but in controller on $request->all() I get only file name

"images" => array:1 [▼
    0 => "just-before-hit.png"
  ]

You can get the file object using $request->file('NAME') or using $request->FILEINAME. for more information visit the official laravel docs here and here is the example for you.

$files = $request->file('images');
foreach($files as $file){
    // here is your file object
    dd($file->getClientOriginalName());
}

You'll need to add enctype="multipart/form-data" to your form. Otherwise, file upload won't work properly.

If that can help

add in your controller : use Illuminate\Http\UploadedFile;

So the answer is to add enctype="multipart/form-data" not only to input but also to <form enctype="multipart/form-data"></form> tag.

You can get file name and of of its property with this $request->file('Name of your input field'). For more information please check laravel documentation.Documentation

$file = $request->file('Name of your input field');
$filename = $file->getClientOriginalName();
$extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
