Get or set filedata
Filedata is any additional data that you want to store with the file’s database record.
- To get a value, specify just the $key argument. Null is returned if request value is not present.
- To get all values, omit all arguments. An associative array will be returned.
- To set a value, specify the $key and the $value to set.
- 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.
