User specified Directory.

Hi,

I am creating an application that manages movie information. I was wondering if there was a way of letting a user navigate to a directory and select it as their default movie directory. i will then scan the sub directory names and compare them to a table in the Db. This latter part I can manage, its letting a user define their own default directory that is causing me problems.

Any examples I have found are relating to file uploading similar to this

 

<form name="file_uploader" action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="data"><br />
<input type="submit" name="upload" value="Upload File">
</form>

 

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Neither of these are achievable on the client side.

I see,

That would explain why I couldn't find anything of note relating to it.

Any recommendations other than getting a user to enter the absolute path to their home dir manually?
