I am trying to make an image upoad form.
The following is the code for the form

<table align="center">
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="register.php" method="post" onsubmit="return vaidate();" >
<tr><td>
Username:</td><td><input type="text"id="user" name="user"> </td> </tr>
<tr><td>
Password:</td><td><input type="password" id="pass" name="pass" ></td></tr>
<tr><td>
Confirm Password:</td><td><input type="password" id="cpass" name="cpass" onchange="validate()" ></td><td> <div id="error"></div></tr>
<tr ><td>
Profile Picture: </td> <td> <input name="userfile[]" type="file" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr align="center"><td colspan="2">
<input id="submit" align="center" type="submit" > </td>
</form>

and the recieving php page is

if(isset($_FILES['userfile'])){

            $imgData =addslashes (file_get_contents($_FILES['userfile']));
            $query = 'INSERT INTO users (User,Password,Picure) VALUES ("'.$_POST["user"].'","'.$_POST["pass"].'","'.$imgData.' ")';
            }

        else
        {
        $query = 'INSERT INTO users (User,Password,) VALUES ("'.$_POST["user"].'","'.$_POST["pass"].' ")';
        }

but i keep getting the error

file_get_contents() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given

Any solutions please?

On the suggestion of the answers i replaced with the following

$imgData =addslashes (file_get_contents($_FILES['userfile']["tmp_name"][0]));

but now my query wont run. on printing $query i realised there is no “) at the end of the string as concatenated by the function. Any ideas?

the output of echo $query is

INSERT INTO users (User,Password,Picure) VALUES ("12312312","1122","ÿØÿà\0JFIF\0\0\0d\0d\0\0ÿì\0Ducky\0\0\0\0\0P\0\0ÿî\0Adobe\0dÀ\0\0\0ÿÛ\0„\0               ÿÀ\0\07\0Î\0ÿÄ\0©\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0   \0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0   \0\0\0\0!1  Aa\"Q2q‘BR#bÓ–XrÒ$ð±ñ‚3CcÔ&\0\0\0\0\0\0\0!1AQaq‘¡±Ñ\"2BðÁRá²#3$ÿÚ\0\0\0?\0?gà >žâû9ÜFùw2à   Ùܧ!ÃðÊ:úKذ¨òÉMë+:\0ô•6Oø?

    $_FILES['userfile'] is an array, you need to use indexes to access the specific file attributes:

    $_FILES["file"]["name"] - the name of the uploaded file
    $_FILES["file"]["type"] - the type of the uploaded file
    $_FILES["file"]["size"] - the size in kilobytes of the uploaded file
    $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] - the name of the temporary copy of the file stored on the   server
    $_FILES["file"]["error"] - the error code resulting from the file upload
    

    So use something like this:

    $imgData =addslashes (file_get_contents($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']));
