Call to a member function insert() on string

Question

I want to add a watermark to my uploaded image using intervention image library in laravel.I have installed it through command composer require intervention/image , added Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProvider::class in providers array and 'Image' => Intervention\Image\Facades\Image::class in aliases array.

This is my code sample:

if($request->file1)
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
            'file1' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg',
        ]);
        $imageName = time().'-'.rand(11111, 99999).'.'.$request->file1->getClientOriginalExtension();
        $imageName = $imageName->insert('https://www.exabytes.my/wp-content/uploads/400x150-exabytes-logo.png','center');
        $request->file1->move('theme/img/properties', $imageName);
    }

So what's the question? Does it not work? In what way does it not work? — user673679, Apr 28 '18 at 11:57

You have to actually use the Image class/facade:

$imageName = time().'-'.rand(11111, 99999).'.'.$request->file1->getClientOriginalExtension();
$file = $request->file1->move('theme/img/properties', $imageName);
$source = 'https://www.exabytes.my/wp-content/uploads/400x150-exabytes-logo.png';
Image::make($file->getPath())->insert($source, 'center');

Have tried your code now it shows another error: Unable to init from given binary data. – Irfan Ullah Apr 28 '18 at 15:34
What's the result of `dd($file->getPath());`? – Jonas Staudenmeir Apr 28 '18 at 15:36
Looks like a problem with your GD installation: https://github.com/Intervention/image/issues/634#issuecomment-327967714 – Jonas Staudenmeir Apr 28 '18 at 15:48
