Message:

i am trying to create a file in laravels App/Http/Controller directory
so i had used this code

$path = 'App/Http/Controller/';



    $fileName = 'demo.php';



    $contents = "<?php echo 'hello'; ?>";

   

   if (!file_exists($path)) {

        mkdir($path, 0755, true);

    }



    $path = $path.$fileName;



    file_put_contents($path, $contents);

but this is creating a file with directory in Public folder..

how to get rid of this.?

My Answer:
"";__ file_put_contents($path . $fileName, $contents);__However, this code will not work as expected because the App/Http/Controller directory is not writable by the web server. Laravel's public directory is the only directory that is publicly accessible by the web server.

If you want to create a file outside of the public directory, you can use the storage directory which is typically located at storage/app. You can use the storage_path() helper function to get the full path to the storage directory.

Here is an example of how you can create a file in the storage directory:

php
$path = storage_path('app/demo.php');
$contents = "";

file_put_contents($path, $contents);


This code will create a file named demo.php in the storage/app directory with the contents "".
