Request hasFiles() returned "(int)2". Always.

The method name is a bit misleading, the return type is not boolean but long. Also, you can pass in a boolean argument to limit the count to successful files.

Try this:

public function someAction() {
    if($this->request->hasFiles(true)>0) {
        // yay
    } else {
        // nay
    }
}
