php-laravelHow do I upload a file using PHP and Laravel?

To upload a file using PHP and Laravel, you can use the request()->file('file') method. This method takes the name of the file from the form field and stores it in the $file variable.

Example code

$file = request()->file('file');

The file can then be stored using the Storage::put() method. This method takes two parameters, the first being the path to the file and the second being the file itself.

Example code

Storage::put('file.txt', $file);

The file can also be moved to a different location using the Storage::move() method. This method takes three parameters, the first being the path to the file, the second being the new path and the third being the file itself.

Example code

Storage::move('file.txt', 'new-file.txt', $file);
