I've checked out the other posts about this, mine seems to be unique for some reason
Essentially what I'm trying to do is store uploaded photos in the public directory for easy access, however when I store them I'm trying to store them in a user specific folder, so
/public/photos/$User->id/$filename.jpg
Right now I have Dropzone uploading the file, and I've added to my filesystem.php this statement
'public_uploads' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => public_path(),
],
So in theory when I access that using
Storage::disk('public_uploads')
it should retrieve the correct path
Here's my controller as well
$User = User::find(Auth::user()->id);
$Photo = Request::file('photo');
Storage::disk('public_uploads')->put("photos/$User->id", $Photo);
Then I get this error from Laravel on upload
{message: "Impossible to create the root directory "/censoredfilesystem/public/Photos/1".",…}
No idea where the period is coming from and any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks all!
