To check the `$FieldsString` array in Postman, you need to set up a request that sends this data to your backend. Here’s how you can do it step by step:

### 1. Set Up Your Postman Request
– **Open Postman**.
– **Create a new request** (Click on the `+` button or `New` > `Request`).

### 2. Select the HTTP Method
– Choose the appropriate HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, etc.) based on how your API is designed to handle the data. Typically, for sending data like this, you'd use **POST**.

### 3. Enter the Request URL
– Enter the URL of the endpoint in your Laravel application that will handle this request (e.g., `http://yourapp.test/api/endpoint`).

### 4. Set the Request Body
– Switch to the **Body** tab.
– Select **raw** and then choose **JSON** from the dropdown menu on the right.

### 5. Format the JSON Data
Based on your `$FieldsString` array, format the JSON payload like this:

{
    "email": "your_email@example.com",
    "report": "/path/to/report/file",
    "type": "your_report_type"
}

### 6. Send the Request
– Click on the **Send** button.

### 7. Check the Response
– Check the **Response** section below the request area for any output or errors. You should see how your API handles the incoming request, including success messages or error messages.

### Example Scenario
If your `$this->EmailAddress` is `test@example.com`, `$this->UploadPath` is `/uploads/`, and `$this->ReportFileName` is `report.pdf`, your JSON would look like this:

{
    "email": "test@example.com",
    "report": "/uploads/report.pdf",
    "type": "PDF"
}

### Note
Ensure your server is running, and the endpoint you are testing is correctly set up to handle the incoming data. If you're using middleware (like authentication), make sure you include the necessary headers or tokens in your Postman request.

If you encounter any issues, please provide the error message or response you receive, and I can help troubleshoot further!
