Author Topic: Unable to import using Safari 3 (Read 1131 times)

I use Safari 3.0.3 on OS X and find that I am unable to import CSV files in CiviCRM 1.8 beta.

On the initial import page I select a CSV file and click "Continue" but I am returned to the page with an error saying "Import Data File is a required field". It's as though I never selected a CSV file at all.

Doing the same thing with Firefox works as expected, so I suspect it is an incompatibility with Safari 3 beta.

Can anyone else confirm this problem?

Confirmed

This is happening because safari3 does send the file type in the upload request. here is the dump of the $_FILES variable for safari:

Code: [Select]

    [uploadFile] => Array
        (
            [name] => 100.csv
            [type] => 
            [tmp_name] => /var/tmp/phpc0bbWh
            [error] => 0
            [size] => 4268
        )

and for firefox:

Code: [Select]

     [uploadFile] => Array
        (
            [name] => 100.csv
            [type] => text/x-csv
            [tmp_name] => /var/tmp/php99dB0W
            [error] => 0
            [size] => 4268
        )

Not sure if this is a safari bug or an optional feature. If folks have any ideas/links let me know. I'll look for a workaround later today
