Image source not readable in Laravel 5.2 - Intervention Image

Question

I have a small problem concerning the resizing process of a given image, I am trying to submit a form containing an input type -->file<-- I was able to upload a picture witho

Answer 1

In L5.2 its not directly possible to get image from Input facade. For that we need to first store the image on server and then give path into Image facade to do operations on image.

Code goes likes this:

if ($request->hasFile('picture') ) {

        $destinationPath = public_path('uploads/user');
        $photoname = date("YmdHis");
        $file_extention = '.'.$request->file('picture')->getClientOriginalExtension();
        $photo = $photoname.$file_extention;
        $file_check = $request->file('picture')->move($destinationPath, $photo);

        $thumb_path = $destinationPath.'/thumbnail/'.$photo;

        $new_filePath =  $destinationPath.'/'.$photo;

        $assets_path = url('uploads/user/');

        $img = Image::make($assets_path.'/'.$photo)->fit(100)->save($thumb_path,40);

        $data['picture'] = $photo;           
    }

I was looking for direct solution i.e. as it was possible previously to take image directly from Input facade. If anyone of you have direct solution, show your code here and I'll reward you this bounty. Cheers.

This problem occurred when you resize the image after moving it

$file->move('uploads', $fileName);

$file->getRealPath() will return false after moving the image. You need to resize the image before the moving process. That's it ;)

$img=Image::make('public/uploads/', $file->getRealPath())->resize(320, 240)->save('public/uploads/',$file->getClientOriginalName());
$file->move('uploads', $fileName);

Answer 3

Uploading a file and resizing it before saving is as easy as that: (Without validation or checks)

You can directly pass an instance of UploadedFile to InterventionImage::make()

public function upload(Request $request)
{
    $file = $request->file('file');

    $filename = $file->getClientOriginalName();

    $img = \Image::make($file);
    $img->resize(320, 240)->save(public_path('uploads/'.$filename))

}

If you want to save original size and resized image:

    $img->save(public_path('uploads/'.$filename))
        ->resize(320, 240)
        ->save(public_path('uploads/thumb_'.$filename));

This was just tested on currently latest 5.2 version with is 5.2.45

[EDIT:]

If you call

$file->move();

Don't use

$file->getRealPath() 

afterwards, because this will return false after calling move()

    $filename = $file->getClientOriginalName();
    $file->move('uploads', $filename);
    dd($file->getRealPath());

Answer 4

Shouldn't it be Image::make($file->getRealPath()) instead of Image::make('public/uploads/', $file->getRealPath())?

Image::make() doesn't seem to take two arguments, so that could be your problem.

Try this:

$file = Input::file('file');
$fileName = time() . '-' . $file->getClientOriginalName();

$file->move('uploads', $fileName);

$img = Image::make($file->getRealPath())
    ->resize(320, 240)
    ->save('public/uploads/', $file->getClientOriginalName());

Or if you want to do it without moving the file first, try this:

$file = Input::file('file');
$img = Image::make($file)
    ->resize(320, 240)
    ->save('public/uploads/', $file->getClientOriginalName());

This problem can also occur when you don't want to name the uploaded file using

$filename = $file->getClientOriginalName();

method. If you want to create your own uploaded file names, let's say, using the method below

// $filename_without_ext = $request->input('name');
$filename_without_ext = Str::slug($request->input('name'));
$file_extension = pathinfo($logo->getClientOriginalName(), PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$filename =   time() . '-' . $filename_without_ext . '.' . $file_extension;

If you use Laravel 5.8 and you get that error and you are trying to create your own file name, which is mostly necessary, you can fall into this trap. You should check the name field if it is coming as a form input. For example for the code above if you don't use the Str::slug function, which is a Laravel helper function, like the code with comments, you can run into problems because of the white space that the form field can have.

Answer 6

i just solved this problem.

change this line:

$file -> move('uploads', $fileName);

to

$file = $file -> move('uploads', $fileName);

now $file->getRealPath() has a valid value.

hope this works for you.
