What are some best practices for handling file uploads in PHP to ensure compatibility across different browsers?

When handling file uploads in PHP, it's important to ensure compatibility across different browsers by setting the appropriate encoding type in the form and checking for any errors during the upload process. One common best practice is to use the $_FILES superglobal array to access the uploaded file information securely. 

<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <input type="file" name="file">
  <input type="submit" value="Upload">
</form>
```

```php
if ($_FILES['file']['error'] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
  $uploadDir = 'uploads/';
  $uploadFile = $uploadDir . basename($_FILES['file']['name']);

  if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $uploadFile)) {
    echo "File uploaded successfully.";
  } else {
    echo "Error uploading file.";
  }
} else {
  echo "Error: " . $_FILES['file']['error'];
}
