Form :: file没有将文件发送给控制器！ Laravel5

Question

$file = \Request::file('media')->getClientOriginalName();

For some reason, laravel (5) keeps coming back with

Call to a member function getClientOriginalName() on a non-object

I have dumped $file to see if anything has been passed, and is coming back NULL ! Here is the Blade HTML Form code :

{!! Form::file('media' , array('enctype' => 'multipart/form-data')) !!}

Update:

If I use

Request::get

Then I get :

string(29) code-wallpaper-20-610x381.jpg

Answer 1

Okay, after a long and frustrating battle, I have found a solution. I dont know why this works, and I'm not sure what I changed to make it work, but I'll post what I did anyways.

In the

{{ Form::open }}

Add

'file' => 'true'

in your array. Also replace

\Request::file()

with

\Input::file() 

and I updated composer too! Don't think it fixed the issue, but just posted it in case as it was one of the things I tried!
