Filedata is any additional data that you want to store with the file’s database record.

  • To get all values, omit all arguments. An associative array will be returned.

  • To set all values at once, specify an associative array for the $key argument.
  • To unset, specify boolean false (or null) for $key, and the name of the property to unset as $value.
  • To unset, you can also get all values, unset it from the retuned array, and set the array back.
