ive looked around and found some talk about a javascript method for retrieving the entire original path on a users computer for a file uploaded with a file field. All the PHP path functions seem to be used serverside. Is there a PHP way that i'm missing?
thanks.
PHP is completely server side and in an HTTP upload, only an original filename along with the encoded file data is sent in the request so its no possible for php to know the path of the file on the users computer.
