I want to get image file in laravel storage folder and encode it to base64. If I use this code it always return empty value
$data = base64_encode(Storage::disk('public')->get('/customer/Avatars',"image.png"));
In localhost this code works
$data = base64_encode(file_get_contents(public_path().'/storage/customer/Avatars/'."image.png"));
but after upload to cpanel this above code give me this error
ErrorException: file_get_contents(/home/site/wwwroot/public/storage/customer/Avatars/image.png): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in file /home/site/wwwroot/app/Http/Controllers/Customer/CustomerProfileController.php on line 56
How can I get this file?

Answers
you can any found file path on storage folder with laravel global storage_path helper
if you get file path in public folder
This happened to me and I would like to share it because some of you can be having the same problem, I was trying to use Storage::get() method for encoding a file, but, that returned an empty field, finally I realized that the file that I was getting with the method was empty inside, so make sure your dummy files has some content inside, otherwise it will always return empty.
