Laravel 5.0 Get uploaded file path

Question

I'm uploading a file through a form.

When I dump the file with $request->file("slide") it returns an UploadedFile object but it haven't a method to get the path to the temporal file.

How can I get it?

I need the path to modify the image with Intervention Image before saving it to disk.

You should try

$request->file('slide')->getPathName();
