shocker-z Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 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?RegardsLiam Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/36050-get-the-local-path-of-a-selected-file-from-file-field/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Not all browsers actually send this information to the FILE input, and they shouldn't.
