I am trying upload a single image into a Post and it keeps saving it as a private image--heck, I don't even know where to find that file.
PostController.php
...
if ($request->hasFile('photo')) {
$photo = $request->photo;
$ext = $photo->getClientOriginalExtension();
$filename = uniqid() . '.' . $ext;
$photo->storeAs('public/posts/' . $request->user()->id, $filename);
}
...
storeAs() function takes three parameters.
storeAs(path,name,options)
'options' is where you specify file visibility. In your case :
if ($request->hasFile('photo')) {
$photo = $request->photo;
$ext = $photo->getClientOriginalExtension();
$filename = uniqid() . '.' . $ext;
$photo->storeAs('posts/' . $request->user()->id, $filename,'public');
}
