Laravel not uploading svg image even though it is in allowed types

Question

I am trying to upload svg from laravel and it is giving this error.

The icon must be a file of type: png, svg, gif, jpeg.

This is the code of validator.

$rules = array(
    'image' => 'mimes:png,gif,svg,jpeg|max:10000' // max 10000kb
);

Answer 1

You can use the

$rules = array( 'image' => 'image' );

It supports jpeg, png, bmp, gif, or svg file type.
