how to get local path

[JD_]

im going to develop something for our local intranet where it keeps a record of current projects under development and you can see them locally and remotely.

but how would i for example get them to use the browse , select a folder to where the local version is? and then that path would be put into $remote_path or whatver the field name is..?

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2000000">
<input class="form" name="remote_path" type="file">
<input class="form" type="submit" name="submit" value="Send File">
</form>
