Get the local path of a selected file from file field

Is there a way to see the local path of a file that a user is trying to upload?
I'm wanting to know this because im wirting a script to generate a INI file which includes absolute paths to files on a system.


So for example if i chose to upload a file off my computer "C:\program files\testfolder\testdatabase.mdb" then i can locate that using the file browser on the page and when i submit i can use that path as a variable to enter into the INI in which im creating.

I've looked in just PHP but there isn't a way but anyone any ideas of how i could transfer the path to another variable with javascript?


Regards
Liam
