If you know what the elements of that array are and you know what variables you need to create from all the elements, I think the shortest answer is to use this, given PHP version >= 7.1:

list($name, $type, $tmp_name, $error, size) = $_FILES;

As you said :- I want to store "name", "type" and "tmp_name" in variables

And you tell that your variable is $_FILES. So do like below:-

$name  = $_FILES['pupload']['name']; 
$type  = $_FILES['pupload']['type']; 
$tmp_name = $_FILES['pupload']['tmp_name']; 
echo $name.' : '.$type.' : '.$tmp_name;

This can do

function var_dump_ret($mixed = null) {
 ob_start();
 var_dump($mixed);
 $content = ob_get_contents();
 ob_end_clean();
 return $content;
}
