How to store multiple images in the database Laravel

Question

I'm trying to store multiple images in the database and also show them in the view. I have products table and images table which are related, in the images table I have a foreign key named(image). So far am getting this error "Array to string conversion"

Here are the codes

Controller

  public function store(Request $request) 
  { 

    $formInput=$request->all();
    $image=array();
    if($files=$request->file('image')){
        foreach($files as $file){
            $name=$file->getClientOriginalName();
            $file->move('images',$name);
            $image[]=$name;

        }

    }
          product::create(array_merge($formInput,
       ['user_id' => Auth::user()->id,
       'image' => $image

    ])); 
    return redirect()->back();

Blade

  <input type="file" name="image[]" multiple class="form-control">

Product.php

   public function products()
 {
    return $this->belongsTo('App\Images', 'image');
  }

Images.php

   public function images()
   {
     return $this->hasMany(Product::class, 'image');
    }

Okay, that's the behaviour you're experiencing and the expected behaviour is different. Is there an error? An exception, error code, etc? What does Request look like? Is the Request object the same as the HTTP request? We need more info. — SimonC

As of my Knowledge there is no bug in the file upload but While You are trying to Store

Like this or may by object oriented

it will be a bug

  $CreateArray = array_merge($request->all(), [
    'image' => $image
                ]);

                Model::create( $CreateArray);

So Since if you are uploading the Multiple files and You will get the array of file names but you can't store it as a array in databse so

$CreateArray = array_merge($request->all(), [
    'image' => json_encode($image)
                ]);

                Model::create( $CreateArray);

EDITED

public function store(Request $request) 
  { 

    $formInput=$request->all();
    $image=array();
    if($files=$request->file('image')){
        foreach($files as $file){
            $name=$file->getClientOriginalName();
            $file->move('images',$name);
            $image[]=$name;

        }

    }
          product::create(array_merge($formInput,
       [
'user_id' => Auth::user()->id,
        'image' => json_encode($image)

    ])); 
    return redirect()->back();
