{
    try {
        $validation = Validator::make($request->all(), [
            'product_id' => 'required',
        ]);
        if ($validation->fails()) {
            throw new \Exception("validation_error", 19);
        }
        $product_details = product::where('systemid', $request->product_id)->first();
        if (!$product_details) {
            throw new \Exception('product_not_found', 25);
        }
        if ($request->hasfile('file')) {
            $file = $request->file('file');
            $extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension(); // getting image extension
            $company_id = Auth::user()->staff->company_id;
            if (!in_array($extension, array(
                'jpg', 'JPG', 'png', 'PNG', 'jpeg', 'JPEG', 'gif', 'GIF', 'bmp', 'BMP', 'tiff', 'TIFF'))) {
                return abort(403);
            }
            $filename = ('p' . sprintf("%010d", $product_details->id)) . '-m' . sprintf("%010d", $company_id) . rand(1000, 9999) . '.' . $extension;
            $product_id = $product_details->id;
            $this->check_location("/images/product/$product_id/");
            $file->move(public_path() . ("/images/product/$product_id/"), $filename);
            $this->check_location("/images/product/$product_id/thumb/");
            $thumb = new thumb();
            $dest = public_path() . "/images/product/$product_id/thumb/thumb_" . $filename;
            $thumb->createThumbnail(
                public_path() . "/images/product/$product_id/" . $filename,
                $dest,
                200);
            $systemid = $request->product_id;
            $product_details->photo_1 = $filename;
            $product_details->thumbnail_1 = 'thumb_' . $filename;
            $product_details->save();
            // push image to system on saving
            $client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
            $url = "http://systemb/api/push_image";
            $response = $client->request('POST',$url,[
                'headers' => [ ],
                'multipart' => [
                    [
                        'name'     => $filename,
                        'contents' => file_get_contents($product_details->getPath()),
                    ],
                ],
            ]);
        } else {
            return abort(403);
        }
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        if ($e->getMessage() == 'validation_error') {
            return '';
        }
        if ($e->getMessage() == 'product_not_found') {
            $msg = "Error occured while uploading, Invalid product selected";
        }
        {
            $msg = "Error occured while uploading picture";
        }
        $data = view('layouts.dialog', compact('msg'));
    }
    return $data;
}

i am getting the error "Error occured while uploading picture" but the error is saved in systema but its unabe to be pushed in systemb..i havent understood where i have gone wrong with my code base but i guess that part on guzzle isnt being executed because the data is being saved in systema but its unable to be pushed to systemb.what might be the issue here

Solution

Your class Product doesnt have the method getPath() declared

file_get_contents($product_details->getPath())

Change it so it uses the path you used above that line

file_get_contents(public_path() . "/images/product/$product_id/".$filename)
