POHow do I make Opera upload files like other browsers?

Body
copied!<p>When uploading one file using <code><input type="file" /></code> in Opera, it works as expected. That is, you find the expected file data in $_FILES in PHP server side.</p> <p>However, when I try to upload several files at once using Opera, by setting <code><input type="file" min="1" max="999" /></code> then all the files' contents are glued together in one long string and sent as POST data. All the files in this string are separated by headers such as this:</p> <pre><code>------------94QV8HRqBwta8NY4L2WH0r Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file[]"; filename="xxx1069225496.xml" Content-Type: text/xml <?xml> ... </code></pre> <p>Opera follows the Webforms 2.0 standard, I know. But is there a simple way to make Opera send multiple files in the same fashion other browsers do, or will I have to write an interpreter to get files just from Opera?</p> <p>Thanks for any help. Below is the HTML I'm currently using.</p> <hr> <pre><code><div id="filearea"> <input type="file" min="1" max="6000" accept="text/xml" name="file[]" style="padding: 1px; margin: 2px 0px;" /> </div> </code></pre> <hr> <p>This is how the var_dump of $_POST looks (I've erased any actual XML data, taking up space)</p> <pre><code>array(1) { ["file"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(4209) "------------94QV8HRqBwta8NY4L2WH0r Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file[]"; filename="1219854274.xml" Content-Type: text/xml <?xml version="1.0"?> ... ------------94QV8HRqBwta8NY4L2WH0r Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file[]"; filename="xxx1069225496.xml" Content-Type: text/xml <?xml version="1.0"?> ... ------------94QV8HRqBwta8NY4L2WH0r Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file[]"; filename="xxx1111008062.xml" Content-Type: text/xml <?xml version="1.0"?> ... ------------94QV8HRqBwta8NY4L2WH0r Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file[]"; filename="1219854274.xml" Content-Type: text/xml <?xml version="1.0"?> ... " } } </code></pre>
