Getting Upload file in PHP $_REQUEST

Question

I am receiving uploaded file in PHP $_REQUEST Super global , as per my knowledge $_FILES contains all the information of uploaded file and $_REQUEST contains $_POST,$_GET,$_COOKIES.

Also I am getting an empty $_FILES array for same request.

In PHP 4.3 version $_REQUEST contains file Information but I am using PHP version 5.4.11

How can it is possible?

You have to use $_FILES to get file information. it's removed from $_REQUEST in php 5+. — Kees Sonnema, Jun 05 '13 at 10:36

As per the documentation here:

4.3.0 $_FILES information was removed from $_REQUEST.

I believe he means even though he's using 5.4 PHP he's getting the files object in $_REQUEST – Patrick Evans Jun 05 '13 at 10:35
Sorry @Ekansh I misunderstood your question. Is it possible `register_globals` is causing this issue? – Prisoner Jun 05 '13 at 10:37

Got The answer , actually my colleague (android developer) sending that file after encoding base64 , so that’s why i think $_FILES is empty and $_REQUEST containing file content.
