You try to put an array to a single variable
Probably here
''' 'image' => $this->images, '''

Show what line throws the error
Level 122
when you designed the database, how did you think you would store multiple images in the images column?

@Snapey here is my database
{
Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->foreignId('user_id')->onDelete();
$table->foreignId('category_id');
$table->foreignId('status_id');
$table->bigInteger('post_number');
$table->string('title');
$table->longText('body');
$table->string('image')->nullable();
$table->string('slug');
$table->boolean('featured')->default(0);
$table->timestamps();
});
}

@ene With this structure you (want to) store ONE image per post , so don't try to upload more.

@ene If 2 (or 3, or ...) you can define 2 (3, ...) fields in your table post (image1, image2, ...)
If you don't want to fix a limit, you have to use a second table "post_images"

@sr57 i have follow the steps but the image is not been saved to the database and i am not getting any error
$post = Post::create([
'user_id' => auth()->user()->id,
'title' => $this->title,
'category_id' => $this->category,
'status_id' => $this->status,
'body' => $this->body,
'post_number' => $random,
'slug' => Str::slug($this->title) ?? null,
'filename' => $this->images,
]);
foreach ($this->images as $key => $image) {
$this->images[$key] = $image->storeAs('posts', str::random(30));
}
$this->images = json_encode($this->images);

@snapey @sinnbeck @sr57 this worked but is this the best to handle image upload for post
foreach ($this->images as $key => $image) {
$this->images[$key] = $image->storeAs('posts', str::random(30));
PostImages::create([
'post_id' => $post->id,
'filename' => $image,
]);
}
$this->images = json_encode($this->images);
Level 122
