Why is Laravel file validation not working?

Question

Laravel

Code snippet :

if (Request::hasFile('img1'))
{
    	$file=$request->file('img1');
     	$f_name=$file->getClientOriginalName();
      $url_img='/site/img/product/'.$f_name;
      $file->move($root,$f_name);
     	$ProdModel->img1=$url_img;
}

But in response I get:

Non-static method Illuminate\Http\Request::hasFile() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context

Everything is as in the manual: laravel.su/docs/5.0/requests#files
What's wrong?

Answer 1

use
$request->hasFile('img1');
