How to make unique name for image during upload in laravel?

I am using laravel 5.5 and uploading image. My code is generating name in wrong way.

 $image_icon = $request->file('image_icon');
 $data['image'] = $image_icon->getClientOriginalName().'.'.time();
 $destinationPath = public_path('/images');
 $image_icon->move($destinationPath, $data['image']);

Output name of image is like : heart.png.1544074437

Name should be : heart1544074437.png

Answer

try this one by using pathinfo function

extract file name ..

$fileName = pathinfo($image_icon->getClientOriginalName(), PATHINFO_FILENAME);

extract extenstion

$extension = pathinfo($image_icon->getClientOriginalName(), PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

create new file name.

$fullFileName = $fileName."-".time().$image_icon->getClientOriginalExtension();
