I created a table called "directors" using migrations.Then i created the model, view, controller. In "DirectorController" i wrote crud operations logic for my table. It works until i try to edit a existing record. To be clear it update all informations except the image, it remains the same. Can someone tell me what is wrong?

*Folder "images" exists in public.

enter image description here

//Migration

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('directors', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->id();
        $table->string('first_name');
        $table->string('last_name');
        $table->datetime('birth');
        $table->string('town');
        $table->string('country');
        $table->string('image');
        $table->timestamps();
    });
}

//DirectorController

public function update(Request $request, Director $director)
{

    $request->validate([
        'first_name' => 'required',
        'last_name' => 'required',
        'birth' => 'required',
        'town' => 'required',
        'country' => 'required'
    ]);

    $input = $request->all();

    if ($image = $request->file('image')) {
        $destinationPath = 'images/';
        $profileImage = date('YmdHis') . "." . $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
        $image->move($destinationPath, $profileImage);
        $input['image'] = "$profileImage";
    }else{
        unset($input['image']);
    }

    $director->update($input);

    return redirect()->route('directors.index')->with('success', 'Director updated successfully.');


}

//DirectorModel

protected $fillable = [
    'first_name',
    'last_name',
    'birth',
    'town',
    'country',
    'image'];

public function movies() {
    return $this->hasMany(Movie::class);
}

You need to change your form as:

<form action="{{ route('directors.update', $director->id) }}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
