How to upload images?

Question

Laravel

Hello, how is it possible to upload an image, here is the code I wrote

public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request,[
            'title' => 'required',
            'text' => 'required',
            'date' => 'required',
        ]);

        $status = Post::status($request->view);

        if($request->hasFile('img')) {
            $file = $request->file('img');
        
            $input['img'] = $file->getClientOriginalName();
            
            $file->move(public_path().'/upload',$input['img']);
        }

        Post::create([
            'title' => $request->title,
            'date' => $request->date,
            'description' => $request->description,
            'text' => $request->text,
            'view' => $status,
            'category_id' => $request->category_id,
        ]);

        return redirect()->route('posts.index');
    }

The image is transferred to the public / upload folder, but when I print the array, it is not there, here is the screen

Get the image name or path and add the value to the property. You haven't added any information to the object about your file.
Saved to a folder, but how does the object know about it?
