Laravel - Ajax file upload form - call to member function extension null

PHP
1

Hi All

I’m having some trouble in Laravel with a file upload in Ajax. Currently i’m getting an error 500 with Integrity constraint violation: 1048 Column 'sw_type' cannot be null (SQL: insert into tuningsoftware...

Currently my ajax script is using the Route::resource and the ajax script updates the record or creates a new record depending on if it can pull the ID of the record and match the first line of the request. Ideally i would like to retain this functionality if i can.

Please can someone tell me where i’m going wrong.

Controller

public function store(Request $request)
        { 
            
            // request()->validate([
            //     'sw_link' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
            // ]);
     
            if ($files = $request->file('sw_link')) 
            {
                $sw_link = $request->sw_link->store('public/images');
            }
                $softwareEnq = \App\TuningSoftware::updateOrCreate(
            
                
            ['id' => $request->software_id],
            [  
                'sw_link' => $request->sw_link, 
                'sw_type' => $request->sw_type, 
                'sw_manual' => $request->sw_manual, 
                'sw_os' => $request->sw_os, 
                'status' => $request->status
            ]
        );
            return Response::json($softwareEnq);
        }

Upload file snippet in view:


                        <div class="col-sm-12">
                            <label>Upload File</label>
                            <input type="file" name="sw_link" id="sw_link">
                        </div>

}

Thank you in advance.

Where does sw_type get set? You showed us the form html for sw_link.

Hey @droopsnoot, sw_type is further up in the HTML form along with sw_os etc. I just took a snippet to display that the name of the input was set correctly.

The data is then serialised and sent to the controller where it updates/creates a new record.

That’s fine, but the error message was for sw_type, but the snippet of code you posted was for sw_link. As it’s complaining that sw_type is null and cannot be, I wondered whether there might be a typo in that part.
