How can PHP developers ensure cross-browser compatibility when handling file inputs?

PHP developers can ensure cross-browser compatibility when handling file inputs by using the $_FILES superglobal array to access file data uploaded through a form. This array contains information about the uploaded file, such as its name, type, size, and temporary location on the server. By using this array to process file uploads, developers can ensure that their PHP code works consistently across different browsers.

<?php
if(isset($_FILES['file_input'])){
    $file_name = $_FILES['file_input']['name'];
    $file_tmp = $_FILES['file_input']['tmp_name'];

    // Process the file upload here
}
?>
