Let’s get started.

Laravel Installation

We will create laravel project using composer. So, please make sure your system should have composer installed. If not, may be this article will help you to Install composer in system.

Here is the command to create a laravel project-

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

To start the development server of Laravel –

php artisan serve

URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000

Assuming laravel already installed inside your system.

Create images Folder

Create a folder named as “images” inside /public folder. Make sure folder should have all permissions like read and write etc.

When we upload images from form, it will be saved inside this images folder.

Create Controller

Open project into terminal and run this artisan command to create controller.

$ php artisan make:controller UploadImageController

It will creates UploadImageController.php inside /app/Http/Controllers folder.

Open UploadImageController.php and write this complete code into it.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class UploadImageController extends Controller
{
    public function imageUpload()
    {
        return view('image-upload');
    }

    public function imageUploadPost(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
        ]);

        $imageName = time() . '.' . $request->image->extension();

        $request->image->move(public_path('images'), $imageName);

        return back()
            ->with('success', 'Successfully, you have uploaded image')
            ->with('image', $imageName);
    }
}

In this controller file we have all the logic to show image upload form as well as upload image concept.

images is the name of folder.

Next,

We need blade template file.

Create Blade Template Layout

Create a blade template file with name image-upload.blade.php into /resources/views folder.
