Step 1: Install Laravel 8 for Upload Multiple Images

In this step, we will install the laravel 8 app(if required) using the below command.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

 

 

Step 2: Add Model and Migration

Now, we will create a database, model, and migration.

php artisan make:model File -m

Now, edit the model like the below code.

app/Models/File.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Models;
  
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
  
class File extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
  
    protected $fillable = [
        'filenames'
    ];
  
 
    public function setFilenamesAttribute($value)
    {
        $this->attributes['filenames'] = json_encode($value);
    }
}

 

 

Now, add the below code in the migration file.

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
  
class CreateFilesTable extends Migration
{
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('files', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('filenames');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }
 
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('files');
    }
}

 

Now, migrate the table using the below command.

php artisan migrate

 

Step 3: Create Controller

In this step, we will create FileController. 

Note: create a "files" folder in your public directory to save your images.

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\File;
  
class FileController extends Controller
{
    public function create()
    {
        return view('index');
    }
  
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
                'filenames' => 'required',
                'filenames.*' => 'image'
        ]);
  
        $files = [];
        if($request->hasfile('filenames'))
         {
            foreach($request->file('filenames') as $file)
            {
                $name = time().rand(1,50).'.'.$file->extension();
                $file->move(public_path('files'), $name);  
                $files[] = $name;  
            }
         }
  
         $file= new File();
         $file->filenames = $files;
         $file->save();
  
        return back()->with('success', 'Images are successfully uploaded');
    }
}

 

 

Step 4: Create Route

In this step, we will create routes in the web.php file.

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\FileController;
  
  
Route::get('file', [FileController::class, 'create']); 
Route::post('file', [FileController::class, 'store']);

 

Step 5: Create Blade File

Now, we will create the index.blade.php file in the given path resources/views/index.blade.php.
