how to upload image using http client laravel to API

Question

I want to update/upload an image using http client laravel. I did update the data but the image are not updated. the API are blob type. I try to use form-data file in postman and it did work. but I don't know why it's not working in my laravel app.

this is my code

$image = $request->file('profile_image');
        if ($image != null) {
            $contents = $image->openFile()->fread($image->getSize());
        }
        $response = Http::withToken($request->session()->get('user'))->acceptJson()->attach('image', file_get_contents($image))->post("https://voice.infidea.id/api/gateway/update-user", [
            'id' => $user['id'],
            'name' => $request->name,
            'email' => $request->email,
            'contact' => $request->contact
        ]);

I try to use the $content also but still did not work. only the string data that updated.

in my postman it's ok no problem. mine in in the code when to post the API from code — Qube

You need to specify complete file path for file_get_contents(), change to this

file_get_contents($request->file('profile_image')->getRealPath()));
// or
file_get_contents($request->profile_image->path());

You just place the temp path or complete path of image

$contents = file_get_contents($request->file('profile_image')->getRealPath());

$response = Http::withToken($request->session()->get('user'))
    ->acceptJson()
    ->attach('image', $contents)
    ->post("https://voice.infidea.id/api/gateway/update-user", [
            'id' => $user['id'],
            'name' => $request->name,
            'email' => $request->email,
            'contact' => $request->contact
    ]);

I think value of $image = $request->file('profile_image'); is not set bcoz in postman you use image.
