title: Where is the data in $_FILES array?
body: <p>I understand uploading files to the server and the 2D $_FILES array. </p>
  
  <p>You can access </p>
  
  <p><code>$_FILES['myFile']['name'], $_FILES['myFile']['tmp_name']</code> etc. </p>
  
  <p>What I don't understand is how do I just get the file data that I uploaded? If I wanted to do something like fill a variable with the file data, how do I do that? </p>
  
  <p><code>$fileVar = $_FILES['myFile'];</code> </p>
  
  <p>Will that work? I have tried that and it doesn't seem to work, although it maybe some other problem. Anyway this is a little confusing to me, all I want is the file data. </p>
  
  <p>The <code>$_FILES['myFile']['name'], $_FILES['myFile']['tmp_name']</code> etc is great but where is the data?</p>
