I'm working with Laravel 5.3 and I have problem with post images to my api. I have external urls of images which come from social network api.
My Task is get this all items and post it to api without any form, input elements just from controller.
I fetch image from api and I can easily post text values but I struggle with images. I can use Image::make() and make image from url;
$orig = pathinfo($media['image_url'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$extension = substr($orig, 0, strpos($orig, '?'));
$filename = time().'-'.str_random(20).'.'.$extension;
// make image
$img = Image::make($media['image_url']);
if I return this $img I got this object:
But I don't need to save it. I have to send it direct to api. If I try to set this object to $request->files array where I receive POST $request before I save to DB in I got this error:
But I want to set this image like that for able to use as uploadedFile:
How can I do this. I don't have any idea. Thanks! :)
