image is saving as tmp file in database laravel

Before explaining the problem. let me show the controller function,

  public function storePost(IdeaRequest $request) {
        $idea = new Idea();
        $idea->idea_title = $request->input('idea_title');
        $idea->user_id = $request->input('user_id');
        $idea->idea_image = $request->file('idea_image')->move('publicPages\images')->getClientOriginalName();
        $idea->idea_info = $request->input('idea_info');
        $idea->selection = $request->input('selection');
        $idea->idea_location = $request->input('idea_location');
        $idea->idea_goal = $request->input('idea_goal');
        $idea->idea_description = $request->input('idea_description');
        $idea->save();
        session()->flash('flash_message', 'Your idea has been submitted for Review');
        return back();
    }

It stores the image as .tmp file. Things i have tried out

• guessExtension(), It just returns the extension name and does not even store the image.

• getClientOriginalName(), it throws an error; getClientOriginalName method is not defined. I have searched the method and it is in there. used its namespace Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile. it did not work either.

• Tried different things out from stackoverflow, Nothing has worked for me till now. In other words, i have invested a lot of time to solve this problem but nothing worked. Any help would highly be appreciated.
