Image not saving in Database in Laravel

I am trying to store image into database after it has been converted to base64 and also decoded. The image stores inside the Storage path but does not save into mysql database. What am i doing wrong?

public function updateProfileImage(Request $request)
    {
        $user = auth('api')->user();

        $image = $request->input('image'); // image base64 encoded
        preg_match("/data:image\/(.*?);/",$image,$image_extension); // extract the image extension
        $image = preg_replace('/data:image\/(.*?);base64,/','',$image); // remove the type part
        $image = str_replace(' ', '+', $image);
        $imageName = 'profile' . time() . '.' . $image_extension[1]; //generating unique file name;
        Storage::disk('public')->put($imageName,base64_decode($image));        
        $user->update($request->all());

}

I recommend you to use uploader packages like:

https://github.com/spatie/laravel-medialibrary or https://github.com/alaaelgndy/FileUploader

to help you in media management without writing all these lines of code in every place you want to upload files.

enjoy them.

I had to do this

public function updateProfileImage(Request $request)
    {
        $user = auth('api')->user();

        $image = $request->input('image'); // image base64 encoded
        preg_match("/data:image\/(.*?);/",$image,$image_extension); // extract the image extension
        $image = preg_replace('/data:image\/(.*?);base64,/','',$image); // remove the type part
        $image = str_replace(' ', '+', $image);
        $imageName = 'profile' . time() . '.' . $image_extension[1]; //generating unique file name;
        Storage::disk('public')->put($imageName,base64_decode($image));


        $user->update($request->except('image') + [
            'profilePicture' => $imageName
        ]);
}

and it worked

Try this:

$user = auth('api')->user();

if ($request['image']) {
    $data = $request['image'];

    list($type, $data) = explode(';', $data);
    list(, $data)      = explode(',', $data);
    $image = base64_decode($data);
    $photoName = 'profile' . time() . '.' . $image_extension[1];
    $request['image'] = $photoName;

    Storage::disk('public')->put($photoName, $image);
    $user->update($request->all());
}
