how can compress the uploaded image, convert into base 64 and directly store in database using laravel

Question

I want to compress the uploaded image and store the base64 of the image in the database. Every time I google the question I always gets the idea to use the image stored in a certain path. I'm using intervention/image package

I have tried this code

$img = Image::make($request->photo)->resize(300, 200);
//get the extension
$type = $request->file('photo')->getClientOriginalExtension();
//convert it into the base64.
$base64 = 'data:image/' . $type . ';base64,' . base64_encode(file_get_contents($img));

I want to store the photo in the database after compressing and converting into the base64 format. Error that I got

Check it once again the content is 100% different, And remove the flag. — CHARITRA SHRESTHA, Sep 13 '19 at 10:44
You have an error `$img is empty`, where did you fill `$img` you provided for your `file_get_content()` ? `base64_encode(file_get_contents($img));` — N69S, Sep 13 '19 at 10:45
`file_get_content()` accepts a path/filename not an instance of `Image` — N69S, Sep 13 '19 at 10:50

No bro, Review the question properly and remove the duplicate tag. he already has the base64 code for the image. But I want to compress and covert the uploaded image directly, — CHARITRA SHRESTHA, Sep 13 '19 at 11:03

You need not write any compression or conversion code. Try adding encode('data-url')

I hope it works.

$img = Image::make($request->photo)->resize(300, 200)->encode('data-url');
