Javascript sending array with files to php

Question

So i'm sending a jquery object that contains some info about a file and the actual $("#input").files[0]; item.

The jquery/javascript looks something like the following:

$.ajax({
    url: '/upload/create',
    type: 'POST',
    dataType: 'json',
    data: JSON.stringify(data),
    success: function(msg) {
        alert(msg);
    }
});

The data variable is a JQuery object that contains info about the uploaded file and the file itself(I think), I just passed it in the object.

Is there any way to extract and save this file on the server-side with PHP?

Just remove the JSON.stringify() call and you should be good. data should be an object, which gets converted to PHP's associative $_POST or $_GET array, stringify converts it to a string.
