Hi, I’ve been trying to receive a multipart/form-data where I have a file and a variable, like this:

```auto
------WebKitFormBoundarytRxkCa0PPw7LwdRw
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="foto"

data:image/jpeg;base64,...
------WebKitFormBoundarytRxkCa0PPw7LwdRw
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="idUsuario"

11
------WebKitFormBoundarytRxkCa0PPw7LwdRw--

```

I can access the values through the `->getParsedBody()` method, but the `->getUploadedFiles()` method can’t parse the file.

How can I solve this?

Do you get an error message when calling `getUploadedFiles()` or an empty return value?

In case you haven’t checked yet, there is an [example](https://www.slimframework.com/docs/cookbook/uploading-files.html) in the docs, though the example only shows uploading files using a form.
