Laravel doesn't show image

Question

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...

Answer 1

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) }}"/>

Answer 2

{{ 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

Answer 3

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:

Note: URL::to('/') returns base URL and it can be used different ways. Here you can find in depth info about it.
