In Laravel, you can get a file object by using the IlluminateHttpRequest class. Here's an example of how to get a file object in a controller method:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
use IlluminateHttpRequest;
public function uploadFile(Request $request)
{
if ($request->hasFile('file')) {
$file = $request->file('file');
// You can now work with the file object, such as storing it or getting its properties
$filename = $file->getClientOriginalName();
$filesize = $file->getSize();
return 'File uploaded: ' . $filename;
}
return 'No file uploaded';
}

In this example, we first check if a file was uploaded with the hasFile method. If a file was uploaded, we retrieve the file object using the file method and then we can work with the file object as needed.
