you need to follow this code, I think It will be helpful for you.

$imageTempName = $userdata->file('image_media')->getPathname();
$imageName = $userdata->file('image_media')->getClientOriginalName();

upload the file to the database within the directory using Laravel.

<?php
public static function upload_file(Request $userdata){
    $imageTempName = $userdata->file('image_media')->getPathname();
    $imageName = $userdata->file('image_media')->getClientOriginalName();
    $path = base_path() . '/public/uploads/images/';
    $userdata->file('image_media')->move($path , $imageName);
    $data=array('media'=>$imageName);
    $insert=with(new UserModel)->uploadFile($data);
}
?>
