following are line nos 67 and 69 that are giving the error :

$destination is apparently 'test/'. $name obviously is empty. - deceze♦

It seems like your name is null

$destination = "test/". $name;

echo you name and see what is coimg there.

For me, it was the filesize.

So, check php.ini to see if the uploaded file exceeds upload_max_filesize and post_max_size.

Or maybe add a validation rule in Laravel or js.
