I have an issue where the images I’m trying to save in a backend form aren’t being populated in the database properly..

My Form.php

<?php  class FactoryX_Blog_Block_Manage_Blog_Edit_Form extends  Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Form {     protected function _prepareForm()     {         $  form = new Varien_Data_Form(             array(                  'id'     => 'edit_form',                  'action' => $  this->getUrl('*/*/save', array('id' => $  this->getRequest()->getParam('id'))),                  'method' => 'post',                  'enctype'  => 'multipart/form-data'             )         );          $  form->setUseContainer(true);         $  this->setForm($  form);         return parent::_prepareForm();     } } 

The field in /Edit/Form.php

$  fieldset->addField('main_image', 'image', array(       'label'     => Mage::helper('blog')->__('Upload a Main Image'),       'required'  => true,       'name'      => 'main_image',     )); 

Controller in save action:

if(isset($  _FILES['main_image']['name']) and  (file_exists($  _FILES['main_image']['tmp_name']))){         try {             $  uploader = new Varien_File_Uploader('main_image');             $  uploader->setAllowedExtensions(array('jpg','jpeg','gif','png'));              $  uploader->setAllowRenameFiles(false);             $  uploader->setFilesDispersion(false);              $  path = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS . "/blog" ;              $  uploader->save($  path, $  _FILES['main_image']['name']);              $  data['main_image'] = $  _FILES['main_image']['name'];       }catch(Exception $  e) {        }     }     else {               if(isset($  data['main_image']['delete']) && $  data['main_image']['delete'] == 1)             $  data['image_main'] = '';         else             unset($  data['main_image']);     } 

The images are saving into the media folder how I’d like them to, but the main_image field in my database is showing up as “Array”. The main image field is type Varchar(255).

I would like the path of the image to be saved to the database instead.
