codeigniter $_FILES upload

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

There is no special "syntax" for accessing $_FILES, nor is there a way to interact with any such file before it is uploaded.

There's also no particularly good reason to choose input->post() over $_POST.

I think with input->post() I will avoid XSS.

input->post() does not avoid xss, unless told explicitly.

input->post() only replaces: isset($_POST['something']) ? $_POST['something'] : NULL;

$this->input->post('some_data', TRUE);

But I set $config['global_xss_filtering'] to TRUE.

You only need to use one or the other not both.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

$this->input->post('some_data', TRUE);

You can replace this with xss_clean($_POST['some_data'])

But I set $config['global_xss_filtering'] to TRUE.

This is bad and deprecated.
