Help - Create new page with form input & fix upload issue.

Hello all, First I would like to say thank you to anyone helping, it is very much appreciated.

I’m trying to create a database of all of my movies(I know there are programs that do this but I would like to make my own)
So far I have created a database with xammp and a form to insert information into that database (I think it’s working right)

I would like for the submit button of my form to create a new page that lists all of the form information, I would like to have a template for this page and place holders for where all the information will go, however I don’t know how I should go about doing this.

Here is everything I have so far

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" id="myForm" action="addedinfo.php" method="post">

db.php (connection to database)

<?php
	$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "spencer");
	$db   = mysql_select_db('movies');
?>

and addedinfo.php It has an error currently. Notice: Array to string conversion in C:\xampp\htdocs\movies\addedinfo.php on line 18
Failed
Line 18 = if (mysql_query (“INSERT INTO movieinfo VALUES (’’,’$Movie_Name’,’$Poster’, ‘$genres’, ‘$IMDB_Rating’, ‘$Quality’, ‘$Year’, ‘$Trailer’,’$Synopsis’)”))
I’m not sure if it’s the image (poster) Genres(array) or Synopsis causing the error.

[php]

<?php include_once('db.php'); if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){ $Movie_Name = $_POST['Movie_Name']; $Poster = $_FILES['Poster']; if(isset($GenreArray)) { $genres = serialize($GenreArray); } else { $genres = ''; // this is in case user selects nothing (to be on the safe side) } $IMDB_Rating = $_POST['IMDB_Rating']; $Quality = $_POST['Quality']; $Year = $_POST['Year']; $Trailer = $_POST['Trailer']; $Synopsis = $_POST['Synopsis']; } if (mysql_query ("INSERT INTO movieinfo VALUES ('','$Movie_Name','$Poster', '$genres', '$IMDB_Rating', '$Quality', '$Year', '$Trailer','$Synopsis')")) echo "Successfull"; else echo "Failed" ?>

[/php]

I’m not worried about any security as this site will only be running on localhost, as it’s just for me.
Thank you again for your time, and knowledge.
