Route::get('image', [FileController::class, 'create']); 
Route::post('image', [FileController::class, 'store']);

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\File;
  
class FileController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Show the application dashboard.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        return view('create');
    }
  
    /**
     * Show the application dashboard.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
                'image' => 'required',
        ]);
  
      if ($files = $request->file('image')) {
      
            $destinationPath = public_path('/product_image/');

            foreach($files as $img) {
         
              $image = $img->getClientOriginalName();
              $img->move($destinationPath, $image);
         
              $image = new Image();
              $image->image = $image;
              $image->save();

           return back()->with('success', 'Data Your files has been successfully added');
