php - How to upload large file > 5MB in laravel 5

Question

May I know how to upload large file, more than 5Mb in Laravel 5? I am trying to upload around 10MB image file but it is not uploading, I searched a lot and updated following settings in php.ini

post_max_size = 500M;
memory_limit = 500M;
upload_max_filesize = 500M

I have restarted Apache server but still having issue. Is there any other setting in php.ini or in Laravel to upload large files? Please help.

Edit

$image = $request->file('image');

            if($image && $image != '') {

                $extension  = $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
                $imageName = $this->getUniqueName($extension);
                $image->move('gimages/profile_images/', $imageName);
                $profile_image = $imageName;
                $update_user_data['image'] = $profile_image;
            }

Thanks much!

If you want to upload big files you should use streams. Here’s the code to do it:

$disk = Storage::disk('s3');
$disk->put($targetFile, fopen($sourceFile, 'r+'));

PHP will only require a few MB of RAM even if you upload a file of several GB.

See Lrvl5 doc for usage and config of Storage : https://laravel.com/docs/5.0/filesystem
