I havent found an answer after looking at the manual. I'm trying to find out if it possible to find the path of the file on the clients pc once a form has been submitted with the file upload form. I know its possible to get the file name but I need the whole path. is this possible?
Not with pure PHP. Maybe with some JavaScript, but most browsers heavily limit any interaction with <input type="file"> controls from JavaScript.
