Symfony2 Get File Object as PHP Native $_FILE

Question

I can get the file object like this:

$request->files->get('file')

But i have to give my uploader php native file ($_FILES['file']).

Is there any way to get the native file from request object?

Symfony var_dump (xdebug html output):

<pre class='xdebug-var-dump' dir='ltr'>
<b>object</b>(<i>Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile</i>)[<i>13</i>]
  <i>private</i> 'test' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> <small>boolean</small> <font color='#75507b'>false</font>
  <i>private</i> 'originalName' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> <small>string</small> <font color='#cc0000'>'slide-3.jpg'</font> <i>(length=11)</i>
  <i>private</i> 'mimeType' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> <small>string</small> <font color='#cc0000'>'image/jpeg'</font> <i>(length=10)</i>
  <i>private</i> 'size' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> <small>int</small> <font color='#4e9a06'>147845</font>
  <i>private</i> 'error' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> <small>int</small> <font color='#4e9a06'>0</font>
</pre>

Why do you have to do this?

As you can see in the HttpFoundations FileBag, https://github.com/symfony/HttpFoundation/blob/master/FileBag.php

all files are converted into UploadedFile classes, this class has all the informations a native php $_FILES['file'] has.

Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile

If you still want to use the $_FILES['file'], you can simply use the superglobals, the are still available. The Request just wraps the Superglobals to abstract them in an object oriented way
