I am trying to save an image and store it's location to the database but for some reason I always get null when I dump the request from my controller. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
My form:
<form class="addorUpdateBlockItem" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div class="input-group item">
<label for="content">label</label>
<input type="text" hidden name="item_type" value="image">
<input type="file" name="content" id="contentImageBlockId3" class="form-control">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default plus margin-top">opslaan</button>
</span>
</div>
</form>
Now in my controller I try to access the image in my request like this:
dd($request->input('content'));
This results in null
My controller method where I do the dump
/**
* Add or Update a BlockItemContent to a BlockNewsletter item.
*
* @param $blockNewsletterPivotId
* @param Request $request
* @return \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response
*/
public function addOrUpdateBlockItemContent($blockNewsletterPivotId, Request $request)
{
if ($request->input('item_type') == "image") {
dd($request->hasFile('content'));
}
}
this results in false
I forgot everything happens through an ajax call maybe it has something to do with it:
$(document).on('submit', '.addorUpdateBlockItem', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
// Retrieve form data
let formData = new FormData();
let data = $(this).serializeArray();
$.each(data, function(index, field) {
formData.set(field.name, field.value);
});
$.ajax({
url: $(this).attr('action'),
data: formData,
processData: false,
contentType: false,
type: 'POST',
success: function(data){
if (data.data.actionType === 'update') {
$('.successMessage').html(data.data.item + ' succesvol bijgewerkt.');
}
if (data.data.actionType === 'insert') {
$('.successMessage').html(data.data.item + ' succesvol toegevoegd.');
}
$('.successMessage').show();
},
error: function(error) {
console.log(error);
}
});
});
Replace your formdata section here:
let formData = new FormData();
let data = $(this).serializeArray();
$.each(data, function(index, field) {
formData.set(field.name, field.value);
});
With this:
let formData = new FormData($(this)[0]);
You can access the file with $request->file('content')
.
Check also $request->hasFile('content')
, it should return you true
.
you did this line :
$.ajax({
url: $(this).attr('action'),..
but in your form you did not specified any action:
<form class="addorUpdateBlockItem" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
so try to do this and let me see your dd result:
<form class="addorUpdateBlockItem" action="{{ route('your_upload_route') }}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
