Thanks, I see your point now.
I like the solution 2, even though it is a bit ugly.

If we're worried about BC, I don't see why we should favor one group of people (those using $_FILES) over another (those using $_REQUEST), unless I'm missing something ...Simply because you really couldn't use $_REQUEST to access the files array in the past, at least not without risking some dangerous things/messed up results. The idea is while we can't normalize the source, we _must_ normalize it when it seeps into other parts of php.
