What is the difference in behavior between Internet Explorer and Firefox when uploading a file in a form using PHP?

When uploading a file in a form using PHP, Internet Explorer and Firefox may behave differently due to the way they handle file uploads. One common issue is that Internet Explorer may not send the file data correctly, resulting in empty or corrupted file uploads. To solve this issue, you can use the enctype attribute in the form tag with the value "multipart/form-data" to ensure that file uploads are handled correctly by both browsers.

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