Laravel Saving file posts it as a bin file

Question

Am trying to save a file in laravel but it endsup being saved as a bin file

 $file = $request->file('file');
 $name = Carbon::now()->format('Y-m-d')."-".strtotime(Carbon::now()).".".$file->extension();
 $stored =$file-> storeAs('temporary', $name); //save the file to temporary 

Now the above saves every file as .bin file When i check

$file->extension();

Am getting .bin

Where am i going wrong?

Answer 1

Use the getClientOriginalExtension() method instead of extension():

$file->getClientOriginalExtension();
