Array to String conversion troubles - php

Question

so I am struggling with this bit of code for a project that I am working on. I do not understand why I am getting an array to string conversion error for my use of the Move_uploaded_file function below, since I implemented a foreach loop to work only with each individual element in the array. Also note that the issue- according to php's error handling- is specifically with the move_uploaded_file function, not with the other methods that get called.
Here's the relevant code. (Thanks all for the help).
public function relocate () {
foreach ($this->getFilename() as $name) {
$validate = $this->validatePhoto($name);
$size = $this->getSize($name);
if ($validate && $size) {
if (move_uploaded_file($name, $this->filepath . $this->getFilename())) {
echo "<p> upload complete </p>";
//rename file, redirect header, etc.
} //end if move_uploaded_file
else {
echo "<p> something's up. </p>";
}//end else
}//end if validate && size
}//end foreach
}//end relocate method

Answer 1

you should replace $this->getFilename() with $name, $this->getFilename() returns an array if I got it right...
public function relocate () {
foreach ($this->getFilename() as $name) {
$validate = $this->validatePhoto($name);
$size = $this->getSize($name);
if ($validate && $size) {
if (move_uploaded_file($name, $this->filepath . $name)) {
echo "<p> upload complete </p>";
//rename file, redirect header, etc.
} //end if move_uploaded_file
else {
echo "<p> something's up. </p>";
}//end else
}//end if validate && size
}//end foreach
}//end relocate method

It should be
public function relocate () {
foreach ($this->getFilename() as $name) {
$validate = $this->validatePhoto($name);
$size = $this->getSize($name);
if ($validate && $size) {
if (move_uploaded_file($name, $this->filepath . $name)) {
echo "<p> upload complete </p>";
//rename file, redirect header, etc.
} //end if move_uploaded_file
else {
echo "<p> something's up. </p>";
}//end else
}//end if validate && size
}//end foreach
}//end relocate method
You're passing in $this->getFileName() to move_uploaded_file(), when you should be passing in $name, as you're already iterating over the array that $this->getFileName() is returning
