Laravel 5.6 error "function name must be a string" with builtin Auth - laravel-blade

Question

Im trying to modified the builtin laravel Auth to take in more attribute, but have encountered the error "function name must be a string". I didnt know what i did wrong.
Here's my create method:
protected function create(array $data)
{
$imgPath = Storage::putFile('public/photos/users', $data('image'));
$imgPath = 'photos/users/' . basename($imgPath);
return User::create([
'imgPath' => $imgPath,
'firstName' => $data['firstName'],
'lastName' => $data['lastName'],
'about' => $data['about'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'username' => $data['username'],
'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
'role' => $data['role'],
'province_id' => $data['province_id'],
]);
}
the error show the that the part where i try to store image to $imgPath is where exception occured but i dont know whats wrong there. I used the same code for many time, worked fine. Here's my register view:

Answer 1

You can change
$data('image')
to
$data['image']
Because $data is an array, not a function.
