How I can get the name and path to choosed image after uploaded?

Question

I have a problem with getting of uploaded image, because when I posted my form with picture, after reloading of page the input asked to choose the file again, how I can get choosed image? So If I will post this form again, It will be empty, because I did not choose file

<div class="col-sm-12 col-lg-12 my_form">
                    <label class="col-sm-4 control-label  ">Picture</label>
                    <div class="col-sm-8">
                            <input class="form-control" type="file" name="picture" accept=".jpeg, .png, .jpg">
                            <img src="{{picture}}">
                    </div>
                </div>

Can you make it more clear why you need to submit the form more than one time? — Hussam Adil, Dec 09 '19 at 08:17
@HussamAdil For example: CREATE PROFILE with photo, some times later I want to change name of user, and when I submit the PHOTO value will null, because I do not to choose new photo — Aleks, Dec 09 '19 at 08:22
I think we should tell laravel If image is not empty put the rules otherwise do nothing. `$this->validate($request, [ 'image' => 'sometimes|nullable', ]);` for more read [https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/validation#conditionally-adding-rules] — Hussam Adil, Dec 09 '19 at 08:27
Yeah I thought about it but if I want that my profile will withought photo? — Aleks, Dec 09 '19 at 08:30
@HussamAdil Nullable, so sometimes I need a photo sometimes not — Aleks, Dec 09 '19 at 08:34
you need the image if the user selected or if the user has no profile image? so when you need the image? — Hussam Adil, Dec 09 '19 at 08:38

You can just check if the $image == null then it will require the image but if the $image != null just display the uploaded image and don't require the input.

In your controller remove the required validation.

$request->validate([
            'name'              =>  'required',
            'profile_image'     =>  'image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif|max:2048'
        ]);

In this code it will not overwrite the image with null.

Thank you, but It is not true solution. If I reload page, I need that will choosed file and not to choose again – Aleks Dec 09 '19 at 07:03
Can you post the snippet of your template? – Luigel Dec 09 '19 at 07:06
I changed my post – Aleks Dec 09 '19 at 07:11
@Aleks I also need to know the controller in `store` and `index` or `show` – Luigel Dec 09 '19 at 07:15
Controller is like here https://www.larashout.com/laravel-image-upload-made-easy – Aleks Dec 09 '19 at 07:16
I updated my code. It will error because the request was validated and profile_image is null so it will not save the updated user – Luigel Dec 09 '19 at 07:26
Sorry, but I think you did not understand my question. My code is complete -good. But how I can get path after reload? Example: WHEN WE TYPE NAME: alice, after reloading page name stayed ALICE. But if I choosed file and reload page the file path is NULL so HOW I CAN GET FILE PATH AFTER RELOADING PAGE – Aleks Dec 09 '19 at 07:32
I need a snippet of the controller that returns the view of the form. How did you get the `$picture` data – Luigel Dec 09 '19 at 07:35
My controller is absolutely the same like larashout.com/laravel-image-upload-made-easy – Aleks Dec 09 '19 at 07:38
I think you need to change your `src` attribute to `{{ asset(auth()->user()->image) }}` – Luigel Dec 09 '19 at 07:51
Yeah, I did it. But it is only to show image and after submit it will be empty because I will not new picture – Aleks Dec 09 '19 at 07:55
