Uploading a file. What type to store as

I'm creating a feature in Laravel that allows users to record an expense. I would like the option for them to upload a photo/pdf of a receipt also.

What is the correct datatype to save this as in the migration. Obvioulsy it's not string.

I'm using laravel, and storing it in a phpmyadmin db.
