Answer 1

In your code there should be like this:

$profile->profilePic = $fileName;

& then

$profile->save();

Answer 2

try this

$path = $file->getRealPath();;
    $pos = strpos($path,'/public/');
    if ($pos !== false) {
        $path = substr($path, $pos + 1);
    }
    $input['file'] = $path;
