The best way to retrieve your public folder path from your Laravel config is the function:

$myPublicFolder = public_path();
$savePath = $mypublicPath."enter_path_to_save";
$path = $savePath."filename.ext";
return File::put($path , $data);

There is no need to have all the variables, but this is just for a demonstrative purpose.

Hope this helps, GRnGC

I know this is a little late  but if someone else comes across this looking  you can now use public path    in Laravel 4  it has been added to the helper php file in the support folder see here

You can use base path   to get the base of your application - and then just add your public folder to that    path   base path     public   return File  put  path    data    Note  Be very careful about allowing people to upload files into your root of public html  If they upload their own index php file  they will take over your site
