How can I get file content from input field type file

Hi.

Currently I am developing a payment plugin, and I'm stuck getting file content (.pem file) from a custom field type input I have added in xml file of plugin, visible only in the administrator site.

$input = JFactory::getApplication()->input;

$files = $input->files->get($formControl, array(), 'raw');

Oops. Forgot to say $formControl is jform in most standard components.

Thanks you so much Mathew.

The method you showed doesn't works in my case, I forgot to mention that this payment plugin is for "Hikashop" comerce, the way this e-comerce works, I think is impossible to access JFactory::getApplication().

JFactory is global so you should be able to access it from anywhere. If it's a plugin using namespaces then you could try using \JFactory::getApplication();
