I also found the same bug/solution you did. (About display=none) But on the bright side, I learned a bit about tcpdumping =) Too bad I didn’t read this earlier.

Haven't tested the ethereal solution though. I have tries php 5.1.2 with ligthttpd (fastcgi) and apache 2.2.X with php 5.1.5 (so-module). The problem exists in both setups.

I always do this when I suspect browser-PHP communication bugs. Try uploading same file (a small image of 1k) on IE or Firefox then into the Safari and compare the results . It is pretty straight forward Start->Capture then after the page finish reloading into the browser click the stop, identify your request on the server (POST /page.php). Right click on it and in the menu choose Follow TCP/IP Stream. I hope it helps Why you won’t take the Ethereal which is an excelent tool for these kind of problems when you really don’t have any clue on what happens in the communication layer and try to see where the problem reside?

It just seems like Safari is aborting the upload for some reason... or more likely, PHP doesn't see what is being sent and aborts the process. The odd thing is that this Wordpress install works fine, and it's on the exact same config. Flashape,

So obviously not the problem. I'll try and remember what I did and get back to you. Oh, that was shite what I posted if it worked with different browsers before. So obviously not the problem.

Multiple files aren't a problem usually. Are the files you're uploading very big? I thought that the server would have at least started streaming first but it stopped immediately. I upped the post_max_size and upload_max_filesize. I hope I remember the solution right, had several problems with uploads but I think that was what fixed the upload stopping immediately.

You know, I just realized that Wordpress has no problem uploading files... so it must be something with the way I coded the backend? Or perhaps because I'm accepting multiple file inputs as opposed to 1? I’m running PHP 4.3.1 and the latest Safari.
