To upload an image to a server using PHP Laravel, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a form in your PHP Laravel application with a file input field for selecting the image file to upload.
2. In your controller, create a method that will handle the image upload. You can use the store method provided by Laravel's Storage facade to store the uploaded image in a designated directory.

use IlluminateSupportFacadesStorage;

public function uploadImage(Request $request)
{
    $image = $request->file('image');
    
    if ($image) {
        $path = $image->store('images', 'public');
        
        // You can also save the path to the image in your database if needed
    }
    
    return redirect()->back()->with('success', 'Image uploaded successfully.');
}

1. Update your routes file to link the form submission to the controller method. For example, you can use a POST route with the uploadImage method in a ImageController.

Route::post('/upload', 'ImageController@uploadImage');

1. In your form view, make sure to set the enctype attribute of the form tag to "multipart/form-data" to allow file uploads.

</form>

1. Handle any additional processing or validation of the uploaded image in your controller and display appropriate messages to the user.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully upload an image to your server using PHP Laravel.
