How to upload multiple Image in Laravel 6

Originally published at https://itsolutionstuff.com

We will create simple multiple image upload in Laravel 6. So you basically use this code on your Laravel 6 application.

We are going from starch so, we will upload multiple file and store on server then after we will store database too. So in this example we will create "files" table using Laravel migration and write code for route, controller and view step by step.

So here you have to just follow bellow step to create Laravel 6 multiple File Upload with Validation Example.

Step 1: Download Laravel 6

In the first step, we will download a new simple copy source code of Laravel App project by typing the some following command.

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

Step 2: Add Migration and Model

Here, we need create database migration for files table and also we will create model for files table.

php artisan make:migration create_files_table

Migration:

<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class CreateFormsTable extends Migration

{

public function up()

{

Schema::create(‘files’, function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->increments(‘id’);

$table->string(‘filenames’);

$table->timestamps();

});

}
public function down()
{
    Schema::dropIfExists('files');
}

}

php artisan migrate

now we will create File model by using following command:

php artisan make:model File

Step 3: Create Routes

In third step, we will create routes for multiple file upload. so create two route with GET and POST route example.

routes/web.php

Route::get(‘file’,‘FileController@create’);

Route::post(‘file’,‘FileController@store’);

Step 4: Create Controller

Now we require to add new FileController controller for manage route So let’s create FileController with create and store method. Make sure you need to create “files” folder in your public directory.

app/Http/Controllers/FileController.php

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class FileController extends Controller

{

/**

* Show the application dashboard.

*

* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response

*/

public function create()

{

return view(‘create’);

}
/**
 * Show the application dashboard.
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function store(Request $request)
{

    $this-&gt;validate($request, [
            'filenames' =&gt; 'required',
            'filenames.*' =&gt; 'mimes:doc,pdf,docx,zip'
    ]);

    if($request-&gt;hasfile('filenames'))
     {
        foreach($request-&gt;file('filenames') as $file)
        {
            $name = time().'.'.$file-&gt;extension();
            $file-&gt;move(public_path().'/files/', $name);  
            $data[] = $name;  
        }
     }

     $file= new File();
     $file-&gt;filenames=json_encode($data);
     $file-&gt;save();

    return back()-&gt;with('success', 'Data Your files has been successfully added');
}

}

Step 5: Create Blade File

in this step we need to create create.blade.php file in resources folder. So let’s create file:

resources/views/create.blade.php
