<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class ImageUploadController extends Controller
{ 
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
      return view('imageUpload');
    }

    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
      $request->validate([
            'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:1024',
        ]);
    
        $imageName = time().'.'.$request->image->extension();
     
        $request->image->move(public_path('images'), $imageName);
  
        / store image in database from here /
    
        return redirect()->back()->with('success','Image uploaded successfully.')->with('image',$imageName);
    }
}
Store Image in Storage Folder
$request->image->storeAs('images', $imageName);
// storage/app/images/file.png
Store Image in Public Folder
$request->image->move(public_path('images'), $imageName);
// public/images/file.png
Store Image in S3
$request->image->storeAs('images', $imageName, 's3');
