File uploading does not work in the combination of Opera and PHP 4.x. According to the Opera Forums, this seems to be a known issue and happens with several systems for file upload. The Opera Developers refer to section 4.2 of RFC 2616 and state that Opera's behaviour is perfectly legal.
This implies that PHP's behaviour in this respect is faulty.

The full quote from the Opera Developer:

-----

Somebody maintaining that service didn't read section 4.2 of RFC 2616,
otherwise known as the HTTP 1.1 standard, which says that HTTP Headers may
be split across lines, if the break is done using CRLF followed by a space
or TAB character, (commonly used in email headers).

-----

Although Opera Developers said that they will "fix" the behaviour to work like NS and MSIE, it might be a good idea to fix this in PHP, too.

Here's what's actually happening: When uploading a file to a php web server, using any Version of Opera (I have confirmation for 5.11 (Winversion) and 5.0b7 (Linux) and 5.0b3 (Linux)), PHP acts silly:

(The examples assume the name of the upload field as "upload")

$upload contains something like: Content-Type: image/jpeg; name=\"test2.jpg\" ????

$upload_name, xxx_size and xxx_type are empty. 

The PHP4 style $HTTP_POST_FILES[][] vars are ALL empty.

Building a "working" example should be easy, I will provide one, if asked so.

Should be fixed in PHP 4.0.6RC1:
