How can I implement file uploads in Laravel?

You can implement file uploads in Laravel by using the built-in file storage capabilities. First, ensure you have the necessary form in your Blade template.

What do I need to include in my form for file uploads?

Your form should include the enctype='multipart/form-data' attribute and an input of type file. Here's an example: <form action='/upload' method='POST' enctype='multipart/form-data'> <input type='file' name='file'> <button type='submit'>Upload</button></form>.

How do I handle the uploaded file in my controller?

In your controller, you can use the request()->file('file') method to access the uploaded file. You can then store it using the store method.

Can you show me a code example for the controller?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

public function upload(Request $request) {
    $request->validate(['file' => 'required|file']);
    $path = $request->file('file')->store('uploads');
    return back()->with('success', 'File uploaded successfully to ' . $path);
}
