Get uploaded file data in CI 4

if you have a view which includes a form something like:

Code:

<?= form_open_multipart('newblog'); ?>
                            <div class="form-group">
                <input type="file" name="userfile" size="20" />
                
                              </div>
                               <div class="form-group">
               <input type="submit" class ="btn-success" value="submit" />
               </div>
                           </form>

Code:

then to get info on image that was navigated to used when form was submitted via POST
$file = $this->request->getFile('userfile');
        
                $name= $file->getName();

                $tempfile = $file->getTempName();
                           $type = $file->getMimeType();
                       $kbSize=      $file->getSize('kb');

//try this with a form and echo out $name and $tempfile to see what it gives you
