This is done in my function, and the process is quite long for what I do,
that's why I want it to be done by my function and create the structure.

I'm looking for such associative array struct called $_FILES ! I repeat the
files are already in a directory of my server, accessible by FTP.
I want to use my function to move the files like they were uploaded by a
FORM.

I can't get this struct.
