Laravel 10/9 multiple image upload validation; Through this tutorial, i am going to show you how to upload multiple image in Laravel 10/9 with validation.
In this post example, i will build multiple image upload form in Laravel 10/9 with bootstrap library. As well as i will validate multiple image mime type, size before upload/save to database and directory in Laravel 10/9 apps.
Laravel 10/9 Multiple Image Upload Tutorial with Example
Use the below given simple steps to upload multiple images in Laravel 10/9 app:
- Step 1 – Install Laravel 10/9 Application
- Step 2 – Database Configuration
- Step 3 – Create Model & Migration
- Step 4 – Create Multiple Image Upload Routes
- Step 5 – Creating Controller
- Step 6 – Create Blade View
- Create Multiple image upload form
- Step 7 – Start Development Server
- Step 8 – Run Laravel 10/9 Multiple Image Upload with Validation App On Browser
Step 1 – Install Laravel 10/9 Application
In step 1, open your terminal and navigate to your local web server directory using the following command:
//for windows user cd xampp/htdocs //for ubuntu user cd var/www/html
Then install laravel latest application using the following command:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel LaravelMultipleImageUpload
Step 2 – Database Configuration
In step 2, open your downloaded Laravel 10/9 app into any text editor. Then find .env file and configure database detail like following:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=db name DB_USERNAME=db user name DB_PASSWORD=db password
Step 3 – Create Model & Migration
In step 3, open command prompt and navigate to your project by using the following command:
cd / LaravelMultipleImageUpload
Then create model and migration file by using the following command:
php artisan make:model Image -m
The above command will create two files into your laravel multiple image upload with validation tutorial app, which is located inside the following locations:
- /app/Models/Image.php
- /database/migrations/create_images_table.php
So, find create_images_table.php file inside /database/migrations/ directory. Then open this file and add the following code into function up() on this file:
public function up()
{
Schema::create('images', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('name');
$table->string('path');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Now, open again your terminal and type the following command on cmd to create tables into your selected database:
php artisan migrate
Step 4 – Create Multiple Image Upload Routes
In step 4, open your web.php file, which is located inside routes directory. Then add the following routes into web.php file:
use App\Http\Controllers\UploadMultipleImageController;
Route::get('upload-multiple-image', [UploadMultipleImageController::class, 'index']);
Route::post('store-images', [UploadMultipleImageController::class, 'store']);
Step 5 – Creating Controller
In step 5, create image upload controller by using the following command:
php artisan make:controller UploadMultipleImageController
The above command will create UploadMultipleImageController.php file, which is located inside /app/Http/Controllers/ directory.
The following laravel validation rules will validate multiple image file before upload/save into database and storage directory:
$validatedData = $request->validate([
'images' => 'required',
'images.*' => 'mimes:jpg,png,jpeg,gif,svg'
]);
So open UploadMultipleImageController.php file and add the following code into it:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Image;
class UploadMultipleImageController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
return view('upload-multiple-image');
}
public function store(Request $request)
{
$validatedData = $request->validate([
'images' => 'required',
'images.*' => 'mimes:jpg,png,jpeg,gif,svg'
]);
if($request->hasfile('images'))
{
foreach($request->file('images') as $key => $file)
{
$path = $file->store('public/images');
$name = $file->getClientOriginalName();
$insert[$key]['name'] = $name;
$insert[$key]['path'] = $path;
}
}
Image::insert($insert);
return redirect('upload-multiple-image')->with('status', 'Multiple Image has been uploaded into db and storage directory');
}
}
The following code will upload multiple image inside storage/app/public/images directory:
$path = $file->store('public/images');
Step 6 – Create Blade Views
In step 6, create new blade view file that named multiple-image-upload.blade.php inside resources/views directory for upload multiple image form.
- Create Multiple image upload form
I have already created multiple image upload form in laravel, so you can add the following code into multiple-image-upload.blade.php:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>How to Upload Multiple Images In Laravel 10/9 With Validation</title>
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container mt-5">
@if(session('status'))
<div class="alert alert-success">
{{ session('status') }}
</div>
@endif
<div class="card">
<div class="card-header text-center font-weight-bold">
<h2>Laravel 10/9 Upload Multiple Image With Validation</h2>
</div>
<div class="card-body">
<form name="upload-multiple-image" method="POST" action="{{ url('store-images') }}" accept-charset="utf-8" enctype="multipart/form-data">
@csrf
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="file" name="images[]" placeholder="Choose images" multiple >
</div>
@error('images')
<div class="alert alert-danger mt-1 mb-1">{{ $message }}</div>
@enderror
</div>
<div class="col-md-12">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" id="submit">Submit</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The following code display error message on laravel multiple image upload forms. So do not forget to add the following code along laravel forms fields:
@error('images')
<div class="alert alert-danger mt-1 mb-1">{{ $message }}</div>
@enderror
Don’t worry i have already added the validation error message display code along with each form fields.
Step 7 – Start Development Server
Finally, open your command prompt again and run the following command to start development server for your Laravel 10/9 image upload application:
php artisan serve
Step 8 – Run Laravel 10/9 Multiple Image Upload with Validation App On Browser
In step 8, open your browser and fire the following url into your browser:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/upload-multiple-image
Note that, in this example, the multiple images will be upload on the following path – storage/app/public/images.
