I am attempting to create a simple file upload system for images, and even after hours of googling, I just can't seem to get it working. Users upload images to my website, I store the path of the image in the database, and then I show the images by making the database path the src of an img tag. Seems simple enough, but it still does not work for me. Anyway, here is my code.
//posting upload in controller
//i named images docs
public function postUpload(){
Input::file('file')->move(base_path() . '/public/uploads');
$doc = new Doc();
$doc->title = Input::get('title');
$doc->caption = Input::get('caption');
$doc->path = base_path() . '/public/uploads' . Input::file('file')->getClientOriginalName();
$doc->save();
}
And here is my index view where I display uploaded images:
@extends('layouts.caselistlayout');
@section('content')
@foreach($docs as $doc)
<h1>{{ $doc->title }}</h1>
<h2>{{ $doc->caption}}</h2>
<img src='{{ $doc->path }}'>
@endforeach
@stop
I can provide the code for my upload view, but I don't think it is needed in this situation.
Thanks for the help!
Edit: Forgot to mention that the exact problem is the images aren't displayed. The title and caption are displayed on the index page, but the image is not displayed. I only see the default HTML placeholder for where the image should be.
Edit 2: File ends up in the folder, and I can see the URL in the path column of the database.
