I'm having an issue while uploading file to laravel either its pdf or image always return to null

This is the View

{!! Form::open(['action' => 'TransactionInController@store', 'method' => 'POST', 'autocomplete' => 'off', 
'class' => 'form-horizontal', 'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data']) !!}
            <div class="row">
                {{ Form::label('Device Document', '', ['class' => 'col-sm-2 col-form-label']) }}
                <div class="col-sm-7">
                    {{ Form::file('device_document') }}
                    <p style="color: red;">@error('device_document') {{ $message }} @enderror</p>
                </div>
            </div>
{!! Form::close() !!}

and this is the Controller i use

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $this->validate($request, [
        'device_document' => 'nullable|max:8192|mimes:pdf'
    ]);

    $transactionsin = new TransactionIn;
    $imageName = $request->input('device_document');  
    $request->image->move(public_path('document-image'), $imageName);
    $transactionsin->save();
    
    return redirect('/transactionsin');
}

i know its been asked before and i already try several way to upload file this error.

This is the error message i get while running the code

Call to a member function move() on null

but if i change the code in controller into something more simple like this

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $this->validate($request, [
        'device_document' => 'nullable|max:8192|mimes:pdf'
    ]);

    $transactionsin = new TransactionIn;
    $transactionsin->device_document = $request->input('device_document');
    $transactionsin->save();
    
    return redirect('/transactionsin');
}

it will not return any error message but it will saved as null in the database.

you can access file using file() method not input method and after upload image to get image path using asset() function like this below code

    $transactionsin = new TransactionIn;
    $image= $request->file('device_condition'); 
    //upload imaage
    $image->move(public_path('document-image'), $image->getClientOriginalExtension());
    //asset() function use store path
    $transactionsin->device_document =  asset('document-image/'.$image->getClientOriginalExtension());
    $transactionsin->save();

Use $request->file('device_document') instead of input method to catch a file.

If you would like to get original name of the uploaded file, you may do so using the getClientOriginalName() method

Try this :

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $this->validate($request, [
        'device_document' => 'nullable|max:8192|mimes:pdf'
    ]);

    $transactionsin = new TransactionIn;
    $imageName = $request->file('device_document');
    $imageName->move(public_path('document-image'), $imageName->getClientOriginalName());
    $transactionsin->device_document = $request->file('device_document')->getClientOriginalName();
    $transactionsin->save();
    
    return redirect('/transactionsin');
}
