For Laravel 5.x, use `$storage_path = storage_path()`.

From [the Laravel 5.0 docs](http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/helpers#paths):

&gt; ### storage_path
&gt;
&gt; Get the fully qualified path to the `storage` directory.

Note also that, **for Laravel 5.1 and above**, [per the Laravel 5.1 docs](https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/helpers#paths):

&gt; You may also use the `storage_path` function to generate a fully qualified path to a given file relative to the storage directory:
&gt;
&gt;     $path = storage_path(&#39;app/file.txt&#39;);

In Laravel 3, call [`path(&#39;storage&#39;)`](https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/3.0/paths.php#L124-L136).

In Laravel 4, use the [`storage_path()`](https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/4.0/src/Illuminate/Support/helpers.php#L766-L769) helper function.

# For Laravel version &gt;=5.1

## storage_path()

The `storage_path` function returns the fully qualified path to the storage directory:

    $path = storage_path();

**You may also use the `storage_path` function to generate a fully qualified path to a given file relative to the storage directory:**

    $app_path = storage_path(&#39;app&#39;);
    $file_path = storage_path(&#39;app/file.txt&#39;);

**Source:** [Laravel Doc][1]


  [1]: https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/helpers#paths

use this artisan command for create  shortcut in public folder

    php artisan storage:link

Than you will able to access posted img or file 

**Laravel 8.x &lt;**

If the file in a default disk: /storage/app/public/file.jpg, then:

    $path = Storage::path(&#39;file.jpg&#39;);
if the file in a different storage. Ex: /storage/app/storage-dir/sub-dir/file.txt

    Storage::disk(&#39;storage-dir&#39;)-&gt;path(&#39;sub-dir/file.txt&#39;)


And the $path will be &quot;/var/www/project1/storage/app/storage-dir/sub-dir/file.txt&quot;

There are also `url()`

    $path = Storage::disk(&#39;storage-dir&#39;)-&gt;url(&#39;sub-dir/file.txt&#39;);
This will returns the path like: `/storage/sub-dir/file.txt`

For the ealier Laravel versions: 
`storage_path(&#39;app/file.txt&#39;);`


You can use the `storage_path();` function to get storage folder path.

`storage_path();  // Return path like: laravel_app\storage`

Suppose you want to save your logfile `mylog.log` inside Log folder of storage folder. You have to write something like

`storage_path() . &#39;/LogFolder/mylog.log&#39;`

After having been convinced to learn and use Angular.js, I was going to start a concrete web UI application so as to launch the learning wheel of experience. ( The app is going to be some kind of personal planning, to do list, reminder, pomodoro technique oriented, and so on...)

[One of the tutorial videos I have seen, by the author of Angular, is about best practices.][1] And one of the best practices is to start with the `angular-seed` project.

That is what I was going to do, but after googling a little, there are already at least two other projects that claim to be the good starting point:

 - `angular-enterprise-seed` 
 - `angular-sprout`

I&#39;m beginner, but I like to invest in the long term. Should I worry about using something else than `angular-seed` ? I feel like it&#39;s too early to ask myself this question, but if there are already **two** other projects, maybe there are some good reasons.

Is angular-seed the de-facto empty project to start with?

I have a structure like this:

    var myMap = {
        partnr1: [&#39;modelA&#39;, &#39;modelB&#39;, &#39;modelC&#39;],
        partnr2: [&#39;modelA&#39;, &#39;modelB&#39;, &#39;modelC&#39;]
    };

	

I am going to iterate through each of the elements (partnr) with their associatives (models).

I am trying a double $each iteration in order to achieve this, but nothing happens:

    $.each(myMap, function (i, val) {
        $.each(i, function (innerKey, innerValue) {
    
            setTimeout(function () {
                $(&#39;#variant&#39;).fadeOut(&quot;slow&quot;, function () {
                    $(this).text(innerKey + &quot;-&quot; + innerValue).fadeIn(&quot;slow&quot;);
    
                });
    
            }, i * 6000);
    
        });
    });

The effect with fading in and out that I am trying to achieve is working fine when using a single value array (Object), but not when I need to have more than one value for each key like here.

Any ideas of how to accomplish this iteration succesfully and are there other ways than using a map that would be better in this case ?

Any suggestions would be of interest.

I want to store uploaded images to my Laravel-based web app in a subdirectory of the Laravel `storage` directory. It&#39;s the directory at the same hierarchy level as the &#39;application&#39; and &#39;public&#39; directories.

Is there a framework method for doing this? I&#39;ve searched the docs but can&#39;t find one.

What I mean is:

    Original String + Salt or Key --&gt; Encrypted String
    Encrypted String + Salt or Key --&gt; Decrypted (Original String)

Maybe something like:

    &quot;hello world!&quot; + &quot;ABCD1234&quot; --&gt; Encrypt --&gt; &quot;2a2ffa8f13220befbe30819047e23b2c&quot; (may be, for e.g)
    &quot;2a2ffa8f13220befbe30819047e23b2c&quot; --&gt; Decrypt with &quot;ABCD1234&quot; --&gt; &quot;hello world!&quot;

 - In PHP, how can you do this?

Can anyone tell me why this bit of code isn&#39;t working?

    &lt;html&gt;

When I push submit nothing happens. In the receiving php file I&#39;m using $_POST[&#39;time&#39;] and $_POST[&#39;date&#39;] to put the data in a mysql query but it&#39;s just not getting the data. Any suggestions? I&#39;m assuming it&#39;s something to do with the submit button but I can&#39;t figure it out

How to get first day of current month in php?

I&#39;m writing a PHP script to be used to check for network connections with Linux shell command `ping` calling it with PHP&#39;s `exec()`:

    &lt;?php
    
    
    // Bad IP domain for testing.
    $domain_bad = &quot;lksjdflksjdf.com&quot;;
    
    $ip_address = $domain_bad;
    
    exec(&quot;ping -c 1 $domain_bad&quot;, $output, $return_var);
    
    var_dump($return_var);
    echo &quot;return_var is: $return_var&quot; . &quot;\n&quot;;
    var_dump($output);
    
    
    exit;
    ?&gt;

I&#39;m not getting the output for the error message from ping in `$output` which is what I&#39;m expecting:

    $ php try.php
    ping: unknown host lksjdflksjdf.com
    int(2)
    return_var is: 2
    array(0) {
    }

If the domain is a good domain, such as yahoo.com, then `$output` has the output from ping in an array. But if it&#39;s an error such as `&#39;ping: unknown host lksjdflksjdf.com&#39;` it doesn&#39;t get returned to the `$output` array.

Why is this happening and is there a better method to do this? 



PHP: Why isn&#39;t exec() returning output?

in a very tight loop I need to access tens of thousands of values in an array containing millions of elements. The key can be undefined: In that case it shall be legal to return NULL without any error message:

Array key exists: return value of element.
Array key does not exist: return null.

I do know multiple solutions:

        if (isset($lookup_table[$key])) {
            return $lookup_table[$key];
        } else {
            return;
        }

or 

    @return $lookup_table[$key];

or

    error_reporting(0);
    $return = $lookup_table[$key];
    error_reporting(E_ALL);
    return $return;

All solutions are far from optimal:

 - The first one requires 2 lookup in the B-TREE: One to check existence, another to retrieve value. That effectively doubles the runtime. 
 - The second one uses the error suppression operator, and thus creates a massive overhead on that line. 
 - The third one calls the error handler (that will check error_reporting setting and then display nothing) and thereby creates an overhead.

**My question** is if I miss a way to avoid error handling and yet work with a single Btree lookup?

To answer some questions:
--------------------------
The array caches the results of a complex calculation - to complex to be done in real time.
Out of billions of possible values, only millions yield a valid result. The array looks like 1234567 =&gt; 23457, 1234999 =&gt; 74361, .... That is saved to a PHP file of several megabyte, and include_once-d at the beginning of the execution. Initial load time does not matter.
If the key is not found, it simply means that this specific value will not return a valid result. The trouble is to get this done 50k+ per second.

Conclusion
--------------------------

As there is no way found to get the value with a single lookup and without error handling, I have trouble accepting a single answer. Instead I upvoted all the great contributions. 

The most valuable inputs where:
- use array_key_exists, as it is faster than alternatives
- Check out PHP&#39;s QuickHash

There was a lot of confusion on how PHP handles arrays. If you check the source code, you will see that all arrays are balanced trees. Building own lookup methods is common in C and C++, but is not performant in higher script-languages like PHP.

I want to know if it is possible to add new methods to a resource controller in Laravel and how you do it.

I know that these methods are the default (index, create, store, edit, update, destroy). Now I want to add additional methods and routes to the same controller.

Is that possible?

I was wondering if any of you know of a way to install Laravel 4 in a web host SUBDIRECTORY / subfolder while not exposing the /app/ folder and other sensible files to the publicly accesible part of the host.

The idea is, I&#39;d be able to access http://mydomain.com/mylaravel/ to be able to use Laravel, but at the same time I want to avoid anyone doing something like going to http://mydomain.com/app/ or http://mydomain.com/mylaravel/app/ and basically being able to see my config files and other code.

I can&#39;t figure out how to add a new column to my existing database table using the Laravel framework.

I tried to edit the migration file using...

&lt;!-- language: php --&gt;

    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create(&#39;users&#39;, function ($table) {
            $table-&gt;integer(&quot;paid&quot;);
        });
    }

In terminal, I execute `php artisan migrate:install` and `migrate`.

I want to get the id of the session in Laravel 4

In Laravel 3, it was a bit hacky, but possible with this code:

    $session_id = Session::$instance-&gt;session[&#39;id&#39;];

But I can&#39;t work it out in Laravel 4... referencing the `Session::$instance` object throws errors: 

&gt; Access to undeclared static property: Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session::$instance

have tried:

    $session_id = Session::get(&#39;id&#39;);

but to no avail.. any ideas?

How can I make this query in Laravel:

    	`p`.`img`, 
    	`p`.`safe_name`, 
    	`p`.`sku`, 
    	`p`.`productstatusid` 
    FROM `products` p 
    WHERE `p`.`id` IN (
    	SELECT 
    		`product_id` 
    	FROM `product_category`
        WHERE `category_id` IN (&#39;223&#39;, &#39;15&#39;)
    )
    AND `p`.`active`=1

I could also do this with a join, but I need this format for performance.
