UploadedFile __toString() exception - php

Question

I'm trying to insert to database (store function) and I'm getting this error:
Symfony \ Component \ Debug \ Exception \ FatalErrorException (E_UNKNOWN)

public function store(Request $request, ReviewProsConsRepository $reviewProsConsRepository, ReviewTextRepository $reviewTextRepository, ReviewLanguageRepository $reviewLanguageRepository, ReviewCurrencyRepository $reviewCurrencyRepository)
{
$review = $this->reviewRepository->create($request->all()); // Here is the error
$this->mutualAction($request, $review->id, $reviewProsConsRepository, $reviewTextRepository, $reviewCurrencyRepository, $reviewLanguageRepository);
return redirect()->route('manager.review.index')->with('message', 'Review criado com sucesso!');
}

ReviewRepository.php
namespace App\Repositories;
use App\Models\Review;
use Housekeeper\Abilities\Adjustable;
use Housekeeper\Repository;
class ReviewRepository extends Repository
{
use Adjustable;
/**
* Return the name of model that this repository used.
*
* #return string
*/
protected function model()
{
return Review::class;
}
}
I have an image upload that returns the id from the uploaded image to cs_upload_id, but it's getting error and I don't understand why.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Answer 1

Not acquainted with the repository package you are using but I'm guessing it's throwing an error because you're simply passing the reviewRepository->create() method $request->all() which will consist of text key pairs which may be fine to process to the DB but will also include Illuminate\Http\UploadedFile which it can figure out how to handle.
What I would recommend is that you prepare the data in a way that the reviewRepository->create() method can understand rather than just passing it the $request->all() and hoping it will handle it just fine.
Hope that makes sense.
