Can't find path

Hi,
I have a short script for processing some email addresses. The script contains the following form:

[code]<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="openedfile">Choose a file:</label>
<input type="file" name="openedfile"><br>
<input type="submit" value="submit"><br>
</form>[/code]

I have some php in the page that looks like this:
[code]
$filename = $_FILES['openedfile']['name'];
$fp = @fopen($filename, "r+") or exit("<br>Could not open file");
$contents .= @fread($fp, filesize($filename)) or exit("<br>Could not read file");
fclose($fp);
[/code]

Problem is, it only works if the chosen file is in the same directory as the script. Any other parent- or sub-directory and it says it doesn't exist. I'm guessing this is rrreally simple, but any help much appreciated!
