File upload best way

env file maa
main_path=/public/


and while file upload store fn:

if(!empty($request->file('image')))

{

$file=$request->file('image');

$path=base_path().env('main_path').'event_upload';

// $path=public_path().'/event_upload';

//wrong method :

// $path=base_path().'/public/event_upload';

$name=uniqid().'_'.$file->getClientOriginalName();

if($file->move($path,$name))

{

$image=$name;

}

}

but from using public_path directly, system will auto take public path
