php - Laravel - Can't save file from Disk to database record

Get the solution ↓↓↓

I'm using S3 to store my files. I have a video saved in my directory. I want to take the video from S3 and save it to a record in my DB. This is the code I'm using:

$file = Storage::get('input/TESTING.mp4');
            
$newer->video = $file;
Copy code

I'm getting this error (which comes from the second line of my code):

file_exists() expects parameter 1 to be a valid path, string given
Copy code

The file does exist, I'm 100% sure, Laravel is finding it. I used the Storage::exists() function to test that.

I'm not sure what the problem is, any help would be appreciated.

Answer

Solution:

The methodStorage::get returns the content of the file and not the location. You can see it on the documentation.

To get the path, you should do something like that:

$path = Storage::disk('local')->getDriver()->getAdapter()->applyPathPrefix('filename.png');
Copy code

Or, since Laravel 5.4:

$path = Storage::disk('public')->path('filename.png');
Copy code
