将文件上传到另一个目录laravel 5

Question

I want to store my uploaded file in A specific folder and not in de storage/app folder.

public function upload(Request $request) {
        $files = $request->file('file');
        foreach ($files as $file):
         Storage::put($file->getClientOriginalName(), file_get_contents($file));

        endforeach;

I have tried to do this but it doesn't work:

public function upload(Request $request) {

        $selectfolder = \Request::get('selectfolder');
        $files = $request->file('file');
        foreach ($files as $file):
        storage_path(). "/download/". $selectfolder::put($file->getClientOriginalName(), file_get_contents($file));

        endforeach;

Laravel gives this error:
syntax error, unexpected '::' (T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM)

Answer 1

You should specify location to saved first, then move file to that path

public function upload(Request $request) {
    // selected folder
    $selectfolder = \Request::get('selectfolder');
    // input files
    $files = $request->file('file');

    foreach ($files as $file):

        $fileName = $file->getClientOriginalName();

        $pathToStore = storage_path(). "/download/". $selectfolder;

        $file->move($pathToStore, $fileName);

    endforeach;
}
