File upload in Mozilla problem

Question

Hi,
I am using Flex with server side php script to upload a file
from Flex to server and everything works fine when i use Internet
Explorer but in Firefox i get the following "Error #2038: File I/O
Error".
I googled around and found out that there is a problem with
Firefox handling sessions but couldn't find solution to this
problem. Has anyone else came across this problem, what would be
the solution to it?
Here is my mxml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
creationComplete="init();">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private var urlRequest:URLRequest;
private var fileReferenceList:FileReferenceList;
private var serverSideScript:String = "
http://localhost/uploadFile.php";
private function init():void {
urlRequest = new URLRequest(serverSideScript);
fileReferenceList = new FileReferenceList();
fileReferenceList.addEventListener(Event.SELECT,
fileSelectedHandler);
private function uploadFile():void {
fileReferenceList.browse();
private function fileSelectedHandler(event:Event):void {
var fileReference:FileReference;
var fileReferenceList:FileReferenceList =
FileReferenceList(event.target);
var fileList:Array = fileReferenceList.fileList;
// get the first file that the user chose
fileReference = FileReference(fileList[0]);
// upload the file to the server side script
fileReference.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
uploadCompleteHandler);
fileReference.upload(urlRequest);
// update the status text
statusText.text = "Uploading...";
private function uploadCompleteHandler(event:Event):void {
statusText.text = "File Uploaded: " + event.target.name;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Label text="Upload File From Flex to PHP"
fontWeight="bold"/>
<mx:Label text="Choose a file..." id="statusText"/>
<mx:Button click="uploadFile();" label="Upload File"/>
</mx:Application>
And my php script:
<?php
$tempFile = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
$fileName = $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];
$fileSize = $_FILES['Filedata']['size'];
move_uploaded_file($tempFile, "./" . $fileName);
?>
