I keep on getting this error when I try to upload a pdf document file, does anybody have any idea how to solve this?
I had tried looking for similar problems but still can't solve it(eg: Upload pdf file using Laravel 5)
I tried doing dd() to see if the file have been uploaded and it did show the file name but the error said Call to a member function getClientOriginalName() on null, so now I'm kind of confused on what to do now.
Here are my codes, thanks in advance for helping.
Controller:
class CreateController extends Controller
{
public function create(){
return view('create');
}
public function store(Request $request){
$uniqueFileName = uniqid() . $request->get('upload_file')->getClientOriginalName() . '.' . $request->get('upload_file')->getClientOriginalExtension();
$request->get('upload_file')->move(public_path('files') . $uniqueFileName);
//dd($request);
return redirect()->back()->with('success', 'File uploaded successfully.');
}
create.blade.php
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" class="form-horizontal" method="post" action="{{ url('/user')}}">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<div class="form-group">
<label for="upload_file" class="control-label col-sm-3">Upload File</label>
<div class="col-sm-9">
<input class="form-control" type="file" name="upload_file" id="upload_file">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-6-offset-2">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Save">
</div>
</div>
</form>
Route:
Route::get('/user/create','CreateController@create');
Route::post('/user','CreateController@store');
