Laravel 5 load multiple images
I am trying to upload multiple images at once. The files are uploaded, but they pass the check even if they are not valid iamge. I want to download all valid files and return a message with the number of files that were not downloaded successfully.
My function:
public function addImages($id, Request$request)
{
$files = Input::file('images');
$uploaded = 0;
$failed = 0;
foreach ($files as $file) {
// Validate each file
$rules = array('file' => 'required|image');
$validator = Validator::make(array('file'=> $file), $rules);
if($validator->passes()) {
$destinationPath = 'uploads';
$filename = $file->getClientOriginalName();
$upload_success = $file->move($destinationPath, $filename);
if($upload_success){
$uploaded ++;
}
else {
$failed ++;
}
} else {
$failed ++;
}
}
\Session::flash('success_message',$uploaded.' files uploaded.');
if($failed > 0){
\Session::flash('errors','Some files werent valid.');
}
return redirect('admin/myroute/'.$id);
}
For some reason, if I download files without any extension, they download anyway. What am I doing wrong?

You don't have to check for it in the controller, you have to use every method for it, for example in your request file.
protected function getValidatorInstance()
{
$validator = parent::getValidatorInstance();
$validator->each('files', ['image']);
return $validator;
}
It just checks all files.
