codeigniter $_FILES function

Question

In Codeigniter syntax for normal PHP code $_POST['name'] is $this->input->post('name'). Does anyone knows what is syntax in CI for $_FILES['file']?

I don't want to upload, I want to catch file and make some action before uploading. In upload helper is only this: $this->upload->do_upload('file') - and that is uploading. I want to manage file before this step.

Thanks in advance

CI has its own File Uploading Class, you should Google that. — Funk Forty Niner

Yes it has, but even google can't help me with answer on this question. I need some experience CI user. — Vladimir Glisovic

No you didn't and isn't duplicate. I know how to upload ($this->upload->do_upload('userfile')), but I don't want to do that. I want to catch file, same as I can in PHP $_FILES['file'], but I want to do that in CI way. — Vladimir Glisovic

You can call $_FILES directly before uploading

$this->load->library('upload', $config);//Load upload library class
foreach ($_FILES as $key => $value) {
 //manage the file $key and then upload it
 this->upload->do_upload($key);
}

But I don't want to use $_FILES, I want to use for that CI syntax if exist?

In the previous comment which you deleted, you said you are going to check. Whether you checked it? is it working or not?

Yes, but I read answer again and I saw $_FILES, and that is exactly I want to avoid in code. Is it possible to write code in CI without $_FILES and somehow catch file? If is possible then great, otherwise thanks for effort, I will use $_FILES, what to do.

If you check the Upload.php library file, they also used $_FILES. So there is nothing wrong in using it.

I saw, and I will use $_FILES. I didn't manage to find another solution. This can't be locked. Thanks
