How to change public directory in Laravel 11

If you find yourself in a situation where you need to change the public directory to public_html due to limitations of shared hosting environments.

To achieve this in Laravel 11, open your bootstrap/app.php file and add the following code:

// ....
->create()
->usePublicPath(dirname(__DIR__).'/public_html');

With this change, your application will now use public_html as its public directory.
