I have this in the view.blade.php
{{HTML::image('resources/views/Folder/Subfolder/Subfolder/Photo/'.$item->Photo)}}
$item->Photo
takes the image name from the database
In the same view I have use HTML;
What I see on the screen is this:
<img src="http://localhost:8000/resources/Folder/Subfolder/Subfolder/Photo/3da0d12d6d8667963392a446262b1773.jpg">
If I replace {{HTML::image....
with
<img src="resources/Folder/Subfolder/Subfolder/Photo/{$item->Photo}}" alt="NO PHOTO">
on the screen I see
<img src="http://localhost:8000/resources/Folder/Subfolder/Subfolder/Photo/3da0d12d6d8667963392a446262b1773.jpg">
NO PHOTO
The pictures exists, I sow it in the folder.
I'm doing something wrong, I just don't know what.
I'm thinking that Laravel wants pictures to be on a specific folder... could this be the cause of the problem? Do you have any ideas?
In controller I have this:
$destinationPath =base_path().'\resources\Folder\Subfolder\Subfolder\Photo';
chmod($destinationPath,0777);
The picture size is 7.673 bytes.
I tried with other image, it doesn't work either. It's like something prevents all of my browsers to show pictures on localhost
Has anyone encountered this problem before ?
I don' know what else I should try...
In Laravel 5 if you plan to have your images available in public folder, follow this answer:
Create images
folder under public
folder in Laravel 5.
Afterward what I do, I use URL::to('/')
to return base URL, then you can added your images folder location like following example:
<img src="{{ URL::to('/') }}/images/{{ $item->Photo }}" alt="{{ $item->Title }}" />
OR all of it inside the braces
<img src="{{ URL::to('/images/' . $item->Photo) }}" alt="{{ $item->Title }}" />
You should not give write permission to resources folder.
{{ URL::to('/images') }}
generate http://localhost/images in local host environment.
and the folder of images location is: your_laravel_project/app/public/images
If you plan to protect your images from public view, so only authenticated user can see the images, then follow this link:
How to protect image from public view in Laravel 5?
Note: URL::to('/')
returns base URL and it can be used different ways. Here you can find in depth info about it.
Reference: http://laravel.com/api/5.1/Illuminate/Contracts/Routing/UrlGenerator.html#method_to
Show image Laravel 5 if you plan to have your images available in public folder. To display images folder under public folder in Laravel 5 simple:
<img class="img-responsive menu-thumbnails" src="{{ asset($item->photo) }}"/>
{{ asset("storage/uploads/$notes->file_name")}}
this worked for me. i had file in uploads of storage/app/public folder. tried so many things. turns out its little confusing but awesomely simple once u figure it out. i am in laravel 5.4
