What are the potential pitfalls of using incorrect content types in Ajax requests for file uploads in PHP?

Using incorrect content types in Ajax requests for file uploads in PHP can lead to issues such as the server not being able to properly interpret the uploaded file data. To solve this, ensure that the correct content type (e.g., "multipart/form-data") is set in the Ajax request headers when sending file data. 

<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') {
    if (isset($_FILES['file'])) {
        // Handle file upload logic here
    } else {
        http_response_code(400);
        echo "No file uploaded";
    }
} else {
    http_response_code(405);
    echo "Method Not Allowed";
}
?>
