Laravel: encrypt the uploaded file/image

Question

I am new in laravel, try to encrypt the uploaded file. Here is my controller:

if ($file != null && !empty($file)) 
{
   $userfile = DNEUser::find($lastUserId);
   $user_store_pic = $request->file('user_store_pic');
   $fileContent = $user_store_pic->get();
   $encryptedContent = encrypt($fileContent);
   $s3 = \Storage::disk('uploads');
   //$array=explode(" ",$encryptedContent); 
   $user_store_pic_name = $lastUserId.'_'.time().'.' .$encryptedContent->getClientOriginalExtension();
   $filePath = 'store/'.$user_store_pic_name;
   $s3->put($filePath, file_get_contents($encryptedContent));
   $userStorePicName = $filePath;
   $userfile->user_store_pic = $userStorePicName;
   $userfile->save();
}

I am trying to encrypt the file as per https://stefanzweifel.io/posts/how-to-encrypt-file-uploads-with-laravel/

but I got an error when I submit the form:

"ymfony \ Component \ Debug \ Exception \ FatalThrowableError (E_ERROR) Call to a member function getClientOriginalExtension() on string"

I try to convert into an array using explode but it shows the same error for an array:

"Call to a member function getClientOriginalExtension() on array"

You have to use $user_store_pic->getClientOriginalExtension(); in place of $encryptedContent->getClientOriginalExtension()

It may help you.
