Image not saving in Database in Laravel

Try this:

$user = auth('api')->user();

if ($request['image']) {
    $data = $request['image'];

    list($type, $data) = explode(';', $data);
    list(, $data)      = explode(',', $data);
    $image = base64_decode($data);
    $photoName = 'profile' . time() . '.' . $image_extension[1];
    $request['image'] = $photoName;

    Storage::disk('public')->put($photoName, $image);
    $user->update($request->all());
}

I had to do this

public function updateProfileImage(Request $request)
    {
        $user = auth('api')->user();

        $image = $request->input('image'); // image base64 encoded
        preg_match("/data:image\/(.*?);/",$image,$image_extension); // extract the image extension
        $image = preg_replace('/data:image\/(.*?);base64,/','',$image); // remove the type part
        $image = str_replace(' ', '+', $image);
        $imageName = 'profile' . time() . '.' . $image_extension[1]; //generating unique file name;
        Storage::disk('public')->put($imageName,base64_decode($image));


        $user->update($request->except('image') + [
            'profilePicture' => $imageName
        ]);
}

and it worked

I recommend you to use uploader packages like:

https://github.com/spatie/laravel-medialibrary or https://github.com/alaaelgndy/FileUploader

to help you in media management without writing all these lines of code in every place you want to upload files.

enjoy them.
