Question

I just don’t get it, why won’t it upload the photo.

Having the following in my Input::all():

Array
(
    [name] => p17fp1pnaa1gpr5otdg1ba3fd4v.jpg
    [file] => Array
        (
            [name] => tumblr_ltaruq6XCH1qc4lrfo4_400.jpg
            [type] => image/jpeg
            [tmp_name] => C:\xampp\tmp\php9A20.tmp
            [error] => 0
            [size] => 48382
        )

)

I try to upload the file to a tmp dir, but it won’t do it…

$tmp_input = Input::all();
#$tmp_input = $tmp_input['file'];
Input::upload('photo', path('public').'uploads/tmp', $tmp_input['file']['name']);

$tmp_input['file']['name'] or $tmp_input['name'], doesn’t work either

Yes, the uploads/tmp folder exists. Am I missing something from the syntax for which won’t it do the upload?

Answer 1

Just so others may know, I had to use move_uploaded_file() function as I couldn’t upload the file with any function of Laravel.

so this is what I did

$tmp_input   = Input::all();
$destination = $this->tmp_dir.$tmp_input['name'];
move_uploaded_file($tmp_input['file']['tmp_name'], $destination);
