You have used wrong syntax in AdminformController.php for getting FILE data. Use below code to access different attributes for submitted file:

<?php
    echo "Name: ".$_FILES["general"]["name"]["fileinputname"];
    echo "Type: ".$_FILES["general"]["type"]["fileinputname"];
    echo "Temp Name: ".$_FILES["general"]["tmp_name"]["fileinputname"];
    echo "Size: ".$_FILES["general"]["size"]["fileinputname"];
?>
