Question

What’s the equivalent of PHP’s $_FILES variable in C#? Or at least something that accesses the files in the same way. I’ve got an upload form that I can’t change and need to find out how to get at these files.

Answer 1

Take a look at Request.Files, for example:

foreach (HttpPostedFile item in Request.Files)
{
    var filename = item.FileName;

    var fileBytes = new byte[item.ContentLength];
    item.InputStream.Read(fileBytes, 0, item.ContentLength);

    // fileBytes now contains the content of the file
    // filename contains the name of the file
}
