The Files api is complex, but I can confirm that using
$_FILES and $_REQUEST is not advised
Reading the code for other plugin is my best advice, I wish I had better advice sad

I would go further - DON'T use $_FILES and $_REQUEST. If you are, you are doing it wrong. Moodle has a straightforward API for uploading files (depending what you plan to do with them)
