Laravel - Image File Uploader submits save button instead of uploading image

I am using Laravel-5.8 for my project. I want to upload image, and click on submit button to save the image and other text fields into the database.
Controller
public function create()
{
$countries = ConfigCountries::all();
return view('organization.companies.create')->with('countries', $countries);
}
public function store(Request $request)
{

$orgStartDate = Carbon::parse($request->org_start_date);
$arr = [

if ($request->org_image != "") {
$org_image = time() . '_' . $request->org_image->getClientOriginalName();
$request->org_image->move('storage_files/companies/profile/', $org_image);
$arr['org_image'] = 'storage_files/companies/profile/' . $org_image;
}
$company = OrgCompany::create($arr);
$company->save();
Session::flash('success', 'Company is created successfully');

var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function (e) {
$('#wizardPicturePreview').attr('src', e.target.result).fadeIn('slow');
}
reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
} }
$("input[type='image']").click(function() {
$("input[id='wizard-picture']").click();
});
$(".form-control").keypress(function(e) {
if (e.which == 13) {
e.preventDefault();
return false;
}
});
</script>
The issue is that without clicking on the save submit button, when I clicked on image file uploader, it redirects to the index page without uploading the image to the screen.
How do I resolve this?
Thanks

An input type of image is a way to define an image as a submit button, so clicking on the image actually is submitting the form. You can either change the image to a regular <img> tag or change you click handler to prevent the default action like so
$("input[type='image']").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("input[id='wizard-picture']").click();
});
Also just a heads up, you have a typo in the line that opens your form. There's no closing quotes after method="POST which is probably why the page is just redirecting on submit

Maybe because the closing quote of method is missing in <form> starting tag

Used bootstrap for validating the form ,even there is some validation the form is getting submitted.How should I avoid it

I am using the bootstrap 'needs-validation' for checking the validation form. Here when I click the submit button its validating the field and form is also getting submitted. What I want is when the validation fails the form should not get submitted. I found the form validation from (needs validation) from here https://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap4/bootstrap_forms.asp and I used it in my program.
My script is
<div class="row top-space-30">
<form class="needs-validation" novalidate action="" method="">
<div class="form-group row">
<label class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-right" for="studentname">Student Name:</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input id="role" name="studentname" type="text" placeholder="name" class="form-control input-md"
required>
<div class="valid-feedback">Valid.</div>
<div class="invalid-feedback">Please fill out this field.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group row">
<label class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-right" for="department">Department:</label>
<div class="col-md-8">
<input class="form-control" type="text" id="department">
<input type="hidden" id="TestHidden" value="{{result}}" required>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 offset-md-4 top-space-30">
<button type="submit" id="submit">Submit</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
<script>
// Disable form submissions if there are invalid fields
(function () {
'use strict';
window.addEventListener('load', function () {
// Get the forms we want to add validation styles to
var forms = document.getElementsByClassName('needs-validation');
// Loop over them and prevent submission
var validation = Array.prototype.filter.call(forms, function (form) {
form.addEventListener('submit', function (event) {
if (form.checkValidity() === false) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
}
form.classList.add('was-validated');
}, false);
});
}, false);
})();
$("#submit").click(function (e) {
var studentName = $("#role").val();
var departmentsList = $("#department").val().split(',');
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/students/add',
data: {
'role': studentName,
'departmentslist': JSON.stringify(departmentsList)
},
success: function (result) {
alert("The department has been added");
document.location.href = "/department";
}
})
})
</script>

Try this one, I have one function for validationsformSubmit add your own validations in that function.
<div class="row top-space-30">
<form class="needs-validation" name="myForm" action="" method="" onsubmit=" return formSubmit()" >
<div class="form-group row">
<label class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-right" for="studentname">Student Name:</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input id="role" name="studentname" type="text" placeholder="name" class="form-control input-md"
required>
<div class="valid-feedback">Valid.</div>
<div class="invalid-feedback">Please fill out this field.</div>

When the user clicks on Submit button, I want to create a confirmation page where it will give the user all the details again so the user can confirm and then actually submit the form. Kindly let me know how can I use localStorage for storing and retrieving the data at the same time for confirm page.
Thank you in advance!
UPDATE: I created a MDDialog and calling it when the button is clicked,I can see all the data as well in MDDialog now. When user clicks on OK, I want the data on the page(not the data on the MDDialog) to be submited in the backend(php), how can I do that?

Why not show this info on a modal, and call the confirmation function in the same controller where you are, after the modal is closed. This way you won't need any caching policy.

AngularJS 1.6.8: Unable to submit form and display success message

I have a simple query submission form with name, email and query fields and a component with a controller function having the submit function to submit the form.
I am using ng-submit directive in the <form></form> tag to submit the user input and display a success message on submission.
below is the code for the respective files.
contact.html
<div ngController="contactController as vm">
<div class="heading text-center">
<h1>Contact Us</h1>
</div>
<div>
<form class="needs-validation" id="contactForm" novalidate method="post" name="vm.contactForm" ng-submit="saveform()">

<div class="invalid-tooltip">

contact.component.js
angular.module('myApp')
.component('contactComponent', {

});
function contactController($scope, $state,userService,$rootScope) {
var vm = this;
$scope.navigate = function(home){
$state.go(home)
};
$scope.saveform = function(){
$scope.name= vm.name;
$scope.email= vm.email;
$scope.query= vm.email;
$scope.hideMessage = false;
$scope.Message = "Your query has been successfully submitted."
};
$scope.user = userService;
};
//localStorage code
function userService($rootScope) {
var service = {
model: {
name: '',
email: '',
query:''
},
SaveState: function () {
sessionStorage.userService = angular.toJson(service.model);
},
RestoreState: function () {
service.model = angular.fromJson(sessionStorage.userService);
}
}
$rootScope.$on("savestate", service.SaveState);
$rootScope.$on("restorestate", service.RestoreState);
return service;
$rootScope.$on("$routeChangeStart", function (event, next, current) {
if (sessionStorage.restorestate == "true") {
$rootScope.$broadcast('restorestate'); //let everything know we need to restore state
sessionStorage.restorestate = false;
}
});
//let everthing know that we need to save state now.
window.onbeforeunload = function (event) {
$rootScope.$broadcast('savestate');
};
};
UPDATE: On Submit, When I check the response in network tab in dev tools, I do not see the submitted values. All I see is the markup.

In your template, the name of the method is saveform:
ng-submit="saveform()"
But in your controller, it's save:
$scope.save = function() { ... }
Rename it to saveform:
$scope.saveform = function() { ... }

Trying to send custom inputs to braintree but only payment_method_nonce works

I am attempting to have the user inputs( first name, last name, contract number, amount) pass to payment.php and then be sent via $result = Braintree_Transaction::sale but payment_method_nonce is the only thing that passes to payment.php.
