@section('content')
<div class="container">
    <div class="row justify-content-center">

                            <label for="image"><strong>Add Media:</strong></label>
                            <input type="file" class="form-control" id="image-upload" placeholder="Post Image" name="image_upload[]" required multiple>
                        </div>
                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
                    </form>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
    jQuery("document").ready(function($) {
        // Full Ajax request
        $(".btn").click(function(e) {
            // Stops the form from reloading
            e.preventDefault();

            $.ajaxSetup({
                headers: {
                    'X-CSRF-TOKEN': "{{ csrf_token() }}"
                }
            });
            let image_upload = new FormData();
            let TotalImages = $('#image-upload')[0].files.length; //Total Images
            let images = $('#image-upload')[0];
            for (let i = 0; i < TotalImages; i++) {
                image_upload.append('images' + i, images.files[i]);
            }
            image_upload.append('TotalImages', TotalImages);
            $.ajax({
                url: "{{ url('addmedia') }}",
                type: 'POST',
                contentType: false,
                processData: false,
                data: image_upload,
                success: function(result) {
                    $("div.alert").show();
                    $("div.alert p").text(result.message);
                    $('#image-upload').val("");
                    setTimeout(function() {
                        $("div.alert").hide();
                    }, 3000); // 5 secs
                }
            });
        });

    });
</script>

2. Here is code for route/web.php file:

This code will connect form data to controller file:

Route::post('/addmedia', 'HomeController@createmedia')->middleware('ajax');

3. Here is the controller file code app\Http\Controllers\HomeController.php file:

This code will save images into folder and database and I have created images table into my database :

public function createmedia(Request $request)
    {
if($request->TotalImages > 0)
         {
       
        //Loop for getting files with index like image0, image1
            for ($x = 0; $x < $request->TotalImages; $x++) {
       
            if ($request->hasFile('images'.$x)) {
             
            $file      = $request->file('images'.$x);
            $filename  = $file->getClientOriginalName();
            $extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
            $picture   = date('His').'-'.$filename;
      
      //Save files in below folder path, that will make in public folder
            $file->move(public_path('pages/'), $picture);
      $postArray = ['image' => $picture,];
            DB::table('images')->insert($postArray);
             }
         }
     $images = DB::table('images')->orderBy('id', "desc")->get();
         return response()->json(["message" => "Media added successfully.", "images" => $images]);
     
    }
  else
  {
    return response()->json(["message" => "Media missing."]);
  }
        
    }
