Internet Explorer has problems with submitting forms with enctype="multipart/form-data" (e.g. uploading files) when combined with text fields containing non-standard ASCII characters (e.g. smart quotes or em-dashes) and a non-Windows-1255 character encoding. Many Apache 2.0 default configs (e.g. Fedora 3) ship with "AddDefaultCharset UTF-8" in the httpd.conf. Commenting out this line will resolve the problem (assuming no charset is defined using <meta> tags in the page as well). The problem manifests when submitting the form; the input field containing characters like ©, —, “, ” (common in text copied from MS Word) will appear blank to the receiving page. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54016 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54016&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54016&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54016&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54016&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54016&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54016&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54016&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
