Cloudinary\Error: Missing required parameter - file

Question

I am using cloudinary to upload images on my Laravel application. When I try to upload images using my mobile device, I get this error:-

Cloudinary\Error: Missing required parameter - file

When I try uploading from my laptop, it works well. This is my code:

$photos = $request->file;
if(isset($request->file)){

    foreach ($photos as $photo){

        $file = $photo;
        Cloudder::upload($file->getPathname());
        $response = Cloudder::getResult();
        $path = $response['secure_url'];
        $publicId = Cloudder::getPublicId();
        $file_size = $file->getClientSize();
        //create record
    }
}

Please what might be the problem?

Please share the frontend code. Where the file input located. — Vikash Pathak, Jun 12 '19 at 11:33

@VikashPathak how is this a duplicate? Or you just trying to be funny???? — shekwo, Jun 12 '19 at 20:05
it's not issue at Laravel end....it's from frontend, your file not getting attached from mobile device. And liked issue is solution for same problem. — Vikash Pathak, Jun 13 '19 at 03:08
Once you will able to attach the file, Laravel will process that. — Vikash Pathak, Jun 13 '19 at 03:09

It can't be. I made it compulsory. $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [ 'name' => 'required', 'description' => 'required', 'file' => 'required' ],[ 'file.required' => 'Please add Photo(s) for this Product' ]); – shekwo Jun 12 '19 at 12:01

Use following code

if(isset($request->hasFile(file))){

foreach ($request->file('file') as $photo){

    $file = $photo;
    Cloudder::upload($file->getPathname());
    $response = Cloudder::getResult();
    $path = $response['secure_url'];
    $publicId = Cloudder::getPublicId();
    $file_size = $file->getClientSize();
    //create record
} }
