All my upload classes and scripts works fine, except in safari. Is there a known bug in safari that it cant handle uploads properly? I have noticed the same error on other sites, but havent had any luck finding documentation for such a bug.

I use

$_FILE
to collect file information.

Any info on this would be great

did you try google groups [groups.google.com]?

The only upload problem I've every had with Safari was when the local file/directory path included non-standard characters (a ƒ in my case).

AFAIK this was fixed in a later version so maybe an upgrade will solve your problems (latest version: Safari 1.2.3 (v125.9))

Thanks, I couldnt find any useful info in the groups, and the errors are not related to file names. All other browsers works fine, but never safari. No errors, just a blank post field and no file uploaded.

Ive seen it on many sites where I try to upload files, safari just wont do it. Could anyone point me to an upload script/class that actually works or a possible explanation of the problem?

I have also tried several open source classes, same thing there.

Thanks again.

Have you checked the error log?

If you're running a site in OSX then in Terminal type:

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

then try an upload.

I use Safari as my main development browser and have literally dozens of sites and hundreds of pages that rely on file uploads. None of them have problems with Safari.
