Laravel 5.2 + upload file and save name in database

Question

In laravel 5.2, I could upload file using below code but could not find a way to store uploaded filename in database.

    $destinationPath = "test/";
    $file = $request->file('profile_pic');
    if($file->isValid()){
        $file->move($destinationPath, $file->getClientOriginalName());
        $user = User::findOrFail(Auth::user()->id);
        $input = $request->all();
        $input['profile_pic']->pathname = $destinationPath.$file->getClientOriginalName();
        $user->update($request->all());
    }

Does anyone know how to store filename in db?

Answer 1

Code for uploading files/images and writing real names into database

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $data = $request->all();

    if($file = $request->file('your_file')){

        $name = $file->getClientOriginalName();
        $file->move('folder_where_to_save', $name);
        $data['your_file'] = $name;

    }

    Model_name::create($data); // where $data can be $request->all() or you can manually assign the fields you need
}
