laravel deployed on google app engine doesn’t upload files

I am trying to upload a file, I am using laravel 4 and deploy on google app engine. Locally file upload works, but then when deploy with google app engine it doesn’t. Here is my code:

view:

{{ Form::model($v, array('files' => true,'route' => array('upload.image', $v->id),'method' => 'post','class'=>'form-horizontal','id'=>'upload-images')) }}
            {{ Form::file('image') }}
            <br>
            {{ Form::submit('Add Photo', array('class' => 'btn btn-primary' )) }}
            {{ Form::close() }}

controller

$file = Input::file('image');
        dd($file);
        $destinationPath = 'img_gallery/';
        $extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
        $filename = 'img_' . $id . '.' . $extension;
        $file->move($destinationPath, $filename);

        $car = Car::find($id);
        $car->Pic = $filename;
        $car->save();
        return Redirect::to('/');

and it displays an array with file attr. But when deployed with google app engine this code returns NULL. After readin google app engine documentation for php I understood that the problem is that in google app engine you can’t write to filesystem app, and in this link I found that code for php without laravel and tried to combine with mine like below:

upload_test.blade.php

require_once 'google/appengine/api/cloud_storage/CloudStorageTools.php';

use googleappengineapicloud_storageCloudStorageTools;

$options = [ 'gs_bucket_name' => 'images_upload'];
$upload_url = CloudStorageTools::createUploadUrl('upload.handler', $options);
?>
<div class="body">
    <form action="<?php echo $upload_url ?>" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
        <input type="file" name="uploaded_files" size="40">
        <input type="submit" value="Send">
    </form>
</div>

controller

 public function upload_image($id) {
        $file = Input::file('image');
        dd($file);
}

route

Route::group(array('before' => 'auth'), function() {
    Route::post('upload_handler', array('as' => 'upload.handler', 'uses' => 'CarController@upload_handler'));
});

controller

public function upload_handler() {
        var_dump($_FILES);
    }

But this displays:

Symfony Component HttpKernel Exception MethodNotAllowedHttpException

Which I know that is an error because form post is not pointing to a route, instead to a variable. The image is stored in google app engine but the problem is that this code doesn’t post to controller in order to save path of file in DB. I have tried other ways but no result. I also followed step by step section 6 in this. Furthermore I tried Ajessup package but no result.

Answer

With this line:

$upload_url = CloudStorageTools::createUploadUrl('upload.handler', $options);

the first arg should be a URL– try removing the quotes (assuming that upload.handler points to where you want it to), or try replacing that arg with the actual URL that the app should redirect to.
