You write:

$_imagePost = file_get_contents($_FILES['_imagePost']);

The correct syntax is:

$_imagePost = file_get_contents($_FILES['_imagePost']['tmp_name']);

$_FILES is an associative array whit following keys:

• [name] => Original file name;

• [tmp_name] => temporary filepath (where uploaded file is stored);
• [error] => error;
• [size] => size of uploaded file.
