Laravel 7.x and 6.x check if file uploaded or not using hasFile or isValid

July 16, 2017 | Category : Laravel PHP

It is very easy to check if uploaded file or image empty or not if you are using core PHP. But as we know laravel 5 provide us object of file, So we can not determine using empty().

However, we can simply do it using hasFile() and isValid() of laravel predefine. So i am going to give you basic example of both function one by one. So let's simply see both example and use it.

Using hasFile()

public function uploadFileORImage(Request $request)

{

if($request->hasFile('input_file')) {

dd('here you can write code');

}

}

Using isValid()

public function uploadFileORImage(Request $request)

{

if ($request->file('input_file')->isValid()) {

dd('here you can write code');

}

}

I hope you found your solution....
