Laravel Image Upload Validation Fails

Question

When I try to upload an image within Laravel the validation is not working. Here my validation string...

'cover' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048'

The validation error I get is The cover must be an image. It does work however when I only have the required rule.

What is the problem?

What does your <form> element look like? Are you using enctype="multipart/form-data"? — Tim Lewis

You can remove the rule 'image' on your validation :

'cover' => 'required|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
