I Have A Problem In Laravel File Upload. How To Get Original Uploaded File?

I Upload MS Word Document (.docx) in Laravel Using <input type="file">

My MS Word File is Automatically Converted as (.file) Format While Storing in storage/app/public

How to Again Download Same (.docx) Formatted File?

ApplicationController.php

function create(Request $req)
    {
        $application = new Application;
        $application->opening_id = $req->input('opening_id');
        $application->first_name = $req->input('first_name');
        $application->last_name = $req->input('last_name');
        $application->gender = $req->input('gender');
        $application->dob = $req->input('dob');
        $application->address = $req->input('address');
        $application->mobile = $req->input('mobile');
        $application->email = $req->input('email');
        $path = $req->file('resume')->store('public/resumes');
        $path = trim($path,"public/");
        $application->resume = $path;
        $application->application_status = $req->input('application_status');
        $application->save();
        return redirect('admin/view-applications');
    }

Add-Application.php

<div class="input-group">
<div class="custom-file">
<input type="file" class="custom-file-input" name="resume" required>
<label class="custom-file-label" for="exampleInputFile">Choose Resume</label>
</div>

Answer

Change your saving part and it’ll work. You need to extract original name of file which and pass it to store method which will prevent the store method from giving it automatic name, Try the below code and let me know

function create(Request $req){
    $application = new Application;
    $application->opening_id = $req->input('opening_id');
    $application->first_name = $req->input('first_name');
    $application->last_name = $req->input('last_name');
    $application->gender = $req->input('gender');
    $application->dob = $req->input('dob');
    $application->address = $req->input('address');
    $application->mobile = $req->input('mobile');
    $application->email = $req->input('email');
    $filename = $req->file('resume')->getClientOriginalName();
    $path = $req->file('resume')->storeAs('public/resumes',$fileName);
    $path = trim($path,"public/");
    $application->resume = $path;
    $application->application_status = $req->input('application_status');
    $application->save();
    return redirect('admin/view-applications');
}
