i have enough space available for it to back up all my photos, however when i check on the website iCloud app, it has only backed up photos from last year September. Was wandering if anyone here has had a similar problem and/or know a possible solution?
iPhone 7, iOS 12
Note that what you see when you use a computer to go to the Photos app at icloud.com is not from iCloud Backup. The photos there are synced from your devices which have iCloud Photos turned on. See: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support
If you have iCloud Photos turned on then the photos are not also included in an iCloud Backup. See the following from What does iCloud back up? - Apple Support
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backup only include information and settings stored on your device. It doesn’t include information already stored in iCloud, like Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Mail, Notes, Voice Memos3, shared photos, iCloud Photos, Health data, call history4, and files you store in iCloud Drive.

What I do is sync my photos to iCloud via iCloud Photos. See the following for instructions on how to turn it on: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support
Note that it is slightly different than a backup. If you delete a photo from your device it will also be deleted from iCloud (although you do have 30 days to recover it).
Thanks for the reply, I was wandering then how exactly would it be possible to backup all the photos on my device?
All my photos wont back up on iCloud photos
