Using Laravel 8, I thought when I used to return a form on a validation error, I could load all the old inputs back into the view using the {{old('fieldname')}}
helper.
However, that has stopped returning the inputs for my file upload input boxes, everything else returns to the form as normal, except the image inputs.
$validatedData = $request->validate([
'front_image' => 'mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif|max:3000',
'back_image' => 'mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif|max:3000|required',
'indentured' => 'required|in:yes,no',
'trade_selection' => ''
]);
When I use {{ old('front_image) }}
nothing is reported. Weird thing is I can receive the errors for the input, and if I allow the form to push through I can see the files with dd($request)
under files.
