The filename like it was named on the client-side and also the mimetype, 
again the temporary name and the size can be read from the superglobal 
PHP variable:
$_FILES

This is already handles in t3lib/class.t3lib_extfilefunc.php by the 
method: func_upload ...

But AFAIK this is intended for BE usage ...

Take it or leave it ...
