In Laravel, you can check if a file exists using the Storage facade. Here is an example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8  | 
use IlluminateSupportFacadesStorage;
$fileExists = Storage::exists('path/to/file');
if ($fileExists) {
    echo 'File exists!';
} else {
    echo 'File does not exist.';
}
 | 
In this example, the exists() method of the Storage facade is used to check if a file exists at the specified path. If the file exists, the variable $fileExists will be set to true, otherwise it will be set to false. You can then use this variable to determine if the file exists or not.
