Naming the input when uploading with multiple Form::file - Laravel-5

Question

I have a form that has multiple form file uploads - 6. So it looks like this :

<div class='form-group'>
  <div class='row'>
    <div class='col-md-12'>
      <div class='btn btn-info btn-md'>
        {!!Form::file('image-1')!!}

      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

<div class='form-group'>
  <div class='row'>
    <div class='col-md-12'>
      <div class='btn btn-info btn-md'>
        {!!Form::file('image-2')!!}
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

In my controller, I don't want to have to do

if(Input::hasFile('image-1')||Input::hasFile('image-2')|| etc) {
  //code
}

plus each new image is a new row in my DB. I REALLY don't want to do

$image-1 = Image::create(); $image-2 = Image::create();

I guess for this I could throw everything into a array and loop through it, creating a object through each iteration...But I would still need to create an array with all the input objects which is annoying. Please show the way O_O

name all the file inputs like,

{!!Form::file('images[]')!!}

then images is an array

you can get the input in laravel as,

$images = Request::input('images');

then you can use foreach on $images array and do what you want.
