1	composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel9_image_upload

Step 2: Create Routes

Add the following route code in the “routes/web.php” file.

<?php
use App\Http\Controllers\ImageuploadController;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/ 

Route::get('image-upload',[ImageuploadController::class, 'image_upload'])->name('image.upload');
Route::post('image-upload',[ImageuploadController::class, 'upload_post_image'])->name('upload.post.image');
?>

<?php

use App\Http\Controllers\ImageuploadController;

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Web Routes

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These

| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which

| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!

Route::get('image-upload',[ImageuploadController::class, 'image_upload'])->name('image.upload');

Route::post('image-upload',[ImageuploadController::class, 'upload_post_image'])->name('upload.post.image');

Step 3: Create ImageuploadController

Here in this step, we will create the ImageuploadController.php file. after then we will create an image_upload and upload_post_image method for the image upload. the first method for view file and if image upload then it will use the second method.

First, we will create an “images” folder in the public directory for file upload and give permission to read and write.

Now, in this upload_post_image method, we will check the request if request image formate is not valid then return the error message. if the request is true then the image will be successfully uploaded.

<?php
   
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
  
class ImageuploadController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function image_upload()
    {
        return view('image_upload');
    }
  
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function upload_post_image(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
        ]);
  
        $imageName = time().'.'.$request->image->extension();  
   
        $request->image->move(public_path('images'), $imageName);
   
        return back()->with('success','You have successfully upload image.');
   
    }
}
?>

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class ImageuploadController extends Controller

{

/**

* Display a listing of the resource.

* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response

public function image_upload()

{

return view('image_upload');

}

/**

* Display a listing of the resource.

* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response

public function upload_post_image(Request $request)

{

$request->validate([

'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',

]);

$imageName = time().'.'.$request->image->extension();

$request->image->move(public_path('images'), $imageName);

return back()->with('success','You have successfully upload image.');

}

Step 4: Create Blade File

Finally, We will create an image_upload.blade.php file in the “resources/views/” folder directory and paste the below code.

in this step do not forget the pass the enctype=”multipart/form-data” in the form tag.
