How to keep uploaded filename and write filename to db

[Budolfsen]

Hi I am trying to use this on a project and it works fine with uploading the files with the unique id - but I was wondering how I can get it to use the uploaded files name and write it to the database.

This is my code (controller, text-model and imagemodel)

Text controller:

public function update($slug,Request $request, Response $response, Router $router, Twig $view, Text $text, Billede $billede)
    {

        $update = $text->where('id', $slug)->update([
            'overskrift' => $request->getParam('overskrift'),
            'tekst' => $request->getParam('tekst'),
            'link' => $request->getParam('link'),
            'billede_id' => $billede->id,
            ]);       
            $var = 'billede';
            $billede = $billede->firstOrCreate([
        //            'alt' => $request->getParam('alt'),

                'billedenavn' =>  $billede->upload($var),
            ]);

            $billede->text()->save($update);
        print_r($new_filename);
}

My textmodel

<?php

namespace Cart\Models;

use Cart\Models\User;
use Cart\Models\Admin;
use Cart\Models\Text;
use Cart\Models\Billede;
use Upload\Storage\FileSystem;
use Upload\File;
use Upload\Validation\Mimetype;
use Upload\Validation\Size;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Text extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'webshoptekst';
    protected $foreignKey = 'billede_id';

    protected $fillable = [
        'overskrift',
        'tekst',
        'billede_id',
        'filer',
        'linktekst',
        'navigationId',
        'navn',
      ];

    public static function txt() {

      return Text::get()->all();
    }

    public function Pages()
    {
        return $this->hasOne(Text::class, 'id', 'navn');
    }
  }

My image model (billedemodel)

<?php

namespace Cart\Models;

use Cart\Models\Billede;
use Cart\Models\Text;
use Upload\Storage\FileSystem;
use Upload\File;
use Upload\Validation\Mimetype;
use Upload\Validation\Size;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Billede extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'webshopbilleder';

    protected $fillable = [
        'billedenavn',
      ];

      public function text(){
        return $this->hasOne(Text::class);
    }  

    public function upload() {
    $storage = new \Upload\Storage\FileSystem('../public/uploads');
    $file = new \Upload\File('billede', $storage);

    // Optionally you can rename the file on upload
    $new_filename = uniqid('GK' . '-');
    $file->setName($new_filename);

    // Validate file upload
    // MimeType List => http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml
    $file->addValidations(array(
        // Ensure file is of type "image/png"
        // new \Upload\Validation\Mimetype('image/png'),

        //You can also add multi mimetype validation
        new \Upload\Validation\Mimetype(array('image/png', 'image/gif', 'image/jpg', 'image/jpeg', 'image/pdf')),

        // Ensure file is no larger than 5M (use "B", "K", M", or "G")
        new \Upload\Validation\Size('5M')
    ));

    // Access data about the file that has been uploaded
    $data = array(
        'name'       => $file->getNameWithExtension(),
        'extension'  => $file->getExtension(),
        'mime'       => $file->getMimetype(),
        'size'       => $file->getSize(),
        'md5'        => $file->getMd5(),
        'dimensions' => $file->getDimensions()
    );

    // Try to upload file
    try {
        // Success!
        $file->upload();
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        // Fail!
        $errors = $file->getErrors();
    }        
  }

  public $timestamps = false;
}

It uploads the files as it should with uniq-id but I can't get it to write the name to the database.

Can anyone help - please

What you can do is retrieve the filename first then setName.

Without original filename

// Optionally you can rename the file on upload
$new_filename = uniqid('GK' . '-');
$file->setName($new_filename);

With original filename

// Optionally you can rename the file on upload
$original_filename = $file->getName();
$new_filename = uniqid('GK' . '-');
$file->setName($new_filename);

[gusbemacbe]

$original_filename = $file->getName();

I replaced $file->setName($new_filename) with $file->setName($original_filename), but it did not upload and did not overwrite the old images.

I need to upload the new image with the same name to overwrite the old image with the same name. I do not want to use unique ID.

Maybe you are doing something wrong, Can you show the code snippet?
