Any workarounds for the Safari HTML5 multiple file upload bug?

Question

After weeks of tweaking I finally gave up. I just couldn\'t fix my multiple file upload on safari, which really bothered me because my code worked perfectly as it should on

Answer 1

This is oldish question, but ... hack-type workaround is below.

Just remove multiple attribute for Safari, turnig it into MSIE<=9 little brother (non-XHR).

Rest of browsers will not be affected.

When Safari finally fixes problem, all you have to do is remove this hack::code and go back to standard input code.

here is standard input sample:

jQuery solution:

Just place it somewhere on a page, where you have files input tag.

you may read more here: How to detect Safari, Chrome, IE, Firefox and Opera browser?

$(document).ready(function () { 
    if (Object.prototype.toString.call(window.HTMLElement).indexOf('Constructor')>0);
         $('.fileupload-input').removeAttr("multiple");
});

PHP solution

you will need some code to id browser I used a class I got one in github (MIT) get it here: https://github.com/gavroche/php-browser

 $files = '';
 if (Browser::getBrowser() === Browser::SAFARI) {
    $files = '';
 }
echo $files

That is all.
