Laravel-medialibrary: How to handle multiple file inputs with addMediaFromRequest?

[kickthemooon]

So the addMediaFromRequest expects the request key
in my case the request key is images[] so it is an array of files
after which the key becomes and integer.

so $request->file('images') returns this:

array:2 [▼
    0 => UploadedFile {#364 ▶}
    1 => UploadedFile {#356 ▶}
  ]

when i do this

$report->addMediaFromRequest('images')->toCollection('medical-reports');

i get this error

FileCannotBeAdded in FileCannotBeAdded.php line 13:
Only strings, FileObjects and UploadedFileObjects can be imported

and when I do this

foreach($request->file('images') as $image){
            $report->addMediaFromRequest($image)->toCollection('medical-reports');
        }

I get this error

FileCannotBeAdded in FileCannotBeAdded.php line 49:
The current request does not have a file in a key named `C:\wamp64\tmp\php3894.tmp`

Which is the true, the request does not have any key names by the tmp upload path of the file

Now I am not sure how to feed the addMediaFromRequest method...

[freekmurze]

When uploading multiple files with the same name in the request, do not use addMediaFromRequest

Get the files of the request and add them manually.

Try this:

foreach($request->file('images') as $image) {
   $report->addMedia($image)->toCollection('medical-reports');
}

Reopen if you are still having problems.

I was looking for the same answer for Laravel Medialibrary v.7 here. The following code works for me.

foreach($request->file('images') as $image) {
   $report->addMedia($image)->toMediaCollection('medical-reports');
}

I only need to change toCollection() to toMediaCollection(). Thanks @kickthemooon and @freekmurze.
