Answer 1

Single Attachment

My answer is similar to that of André Catita. However, in Laravel 6 you can use $request instead of $_FILES. Let me simplify the code above:

$path = $request->file('import')->getPathName();
$fileName = $request->file('import')->getClientOriginalName();      

$message->attach(
        Swift_Attachment::fromPath($path)->setFilename($fileName)
        );

Here I assume that the name of your file tag is import. For eg:

Multiple Attachments

Now, lets say instead of single attachment you need multiple attachments. Then the code needs to be changed.

First your html code will become:

And for backend or laravel; code will be:

$files = $request->file('import');
foreach($files as $file){

        $path = $file->getPathName();
        $fileName = $file->getClientOriginalName();      

        $message->attach(
            Swift_Attachment::fromPath($path)->setFilename($fileName)
            );
}
