retrieve images from different directory

I have two laravel projects on the same server connected to the same database on the Cpanel, the first project is the main project and the other one is a subdomain project. I want to view images for the subdomain project from the images folder in the main project. I tried to return back to the directory but it didn't work 

 <img src="{{ url('../images/'.$item->image)}}">

however, when I store images from the subdomain project to the images folder in the main project, it works well. but I can't retrieve them back to the view.

Ok - so here's what you could do to make it work.

If you don't have already, create your own helpers file and add it to composer's autoload:

app/helpers.php

<?php

if (! function_exists('parentAsset')) {
    /**
     * Generate a parentAsset path for the application.
     *
     * @param  string  $path
     * @param  bool|null  $secure
     * @return string
     */
    function parentAsset($path, $secure = null)
    {
        return app('parentUrl')->asset($path, $secure);
    }
}

composer.json

{
    //...
    "autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "App\\": "app/"
        },
        "classmap": [
            "database/seeds",
            "database/factories"
        ],
        "files": [
            "app/helpers.php"
        ]
    },
    //...
}

Register parentUrl in the container

app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php

use Illuminate\Routing\UrlGenerator;

public function register()
{
    $this->app->singleton('parentUrl', function ($app) {
        $routes = $app['router']->getRoutes();

        $app->instance('routes', $routes);

        return new UrlGenerator(
            $routes,
            $app->rebinding('request', $this->requestRebinder()),
            $app['config']['app.parent_asset_url']
        );
    });
}

/**
 * Get the URL generator request rebinder.
 *
 * @return \Closure
 */
protected function requestRebinder()
{
    return function ($app, $request) {
        $app['url']->setRequest($request);
    };
}

Please note the new config entry for app namespace: parent_asset_url. You now need to add it to your app.php config file.

config/app.php

[

    //...
    'asset_url' => env('ASSET_URL', null),
    'parent_asset_url' => env('PARENT_ASSET_URL', null),
    //...

]

Lastly you need to add PARENT_ASSET_URL variable to your .env file and specify the url of your parent application.

PARENT_ASSET_URL=https://google.com

Recompile autoloader

composer dump-autoload -o

And you can now use the parentAsset helper to load files directly from the parent domain:

<img src="{{ parentAsset('/assets/images/logo.svg') }}">

Hope this helps.
