Call to a member function move() on null when update in laravel

Question

I got this errror when trying to update data. If I update the image there's no error, but if I'm not it showing Call to a member function move() on null

This is my code:

public function update($id, Request $request)
{   
    $change = Profile::findorfail($id);
    $before = $change->foto_profil;
        
    $profile = [
        'fullname' => $request['fullname'],
        'phone' => $request['phone'],
        'ttl' => $request['ttl'],
        'foto_profil' => $before
    ];
    $request->foto_profil->move(public_path().'/image', $before);
    $change->update($profile);

    return redirect('/profil');
}

Answer 1

You may determine if a file is present on the request using the hasFile() method :

if($request->hasFile('foto_profil')){
     $request->foto_profil->move(public_path().'/image', $before);
}
