In this first step we will install new laravel app(if required) for example of how to upload multiple image in laravel 8.

Step 2: Add Model and Migration

Now, we will create database model and migration for multiple image upload.

php artisan make:model File -m

Now your model has been ready you need to edit like below code in this file location app/Models/File.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Models;
  
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
  
class File extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
  
    protected $fillable = [
        'filenames'
    ];
  
 
    public function setFilenamesAttribute($value)
    {
        $this->attributes['filenames'] = json_encode($value);
    }
}

 

 

Now, add below code in migration file.

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
  
class CreateFilesTable extends Migration
{
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('files', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('filenames');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }
 
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('files');
    }
}

 

Now, run migration with artisan command in your terminal.

php artisan migrate

 

Step 3: Create Controller

Now, we will create FileController for multiple image upload example, and don't forgot to create "files" folder in your public directory to save your images.

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\File;
  
class FileController extends Controller
{
    public function create()
    {
        return view('index');
    }
  
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
                'filenames' => 'required',
                'filenames.*' => 'image'
        ]);
  
        $files = [];
        if($request->hasfile('filenames'))
         {
            foreach($request->file('filenames') as $file)
            {
                $name = time().rand(1,50).'.'.$file->extension();
                $file->move(public_path('files'), $name);  
                $files[] = $name;  
            }
         }
  
         $file= new File();
         $file->filenames = $files;
         $file->save();
  
        return back()->with('success', 'Images are successfully uploaded');
    }
}

 

 

Step 4: Create Route

In this forth steps we will create GET and POST routes for multiple image upload in laravel.

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\FileController;
  
  
Route::get('file', [FileController::class, 'create']); 
Route::post('file', [FileController::class, 'store']);

 

 

Step 5: Create Blade File for View Multiple Image Upload in Laravel

Now, we will create index.blade.php file in this location resources/views/index.blade.php.

          $(".increment").after(lsthmtl);
      });
      $("body").on("click",".btn-danger",function(){

      });
    });
