In laravel 5.3
, if I upload a file from a form, it will be stored in own storage directory. Then I should create a symlink
to that storage path in public path.
I can't use creating symlinks on my system because of the limitation. How can I upload files directly to public/uploads
instead of storage/app/uploads
?
I tried to set the path in AppServiceProvider.php
but it doesn't work.
public function register()
{
//not working:
$this->app->useStoragePath( $this->app->basePath() . "/upload");
//also not working:
// $this->app->bind('path.storage', function () {
// return $this->app->basePath() . '/upload';
// });
}
by "not working" I mean that it is still uploading into the default storage directory. I cleared also the cache.
Here is the upload part (used in a controller):
$request->image->storeAs("uploads", "uploaded_image.jpg");
Thanks for any hints. :)
