You can't. HTTP upload doesn't send the path of the file. Doing such
could be considered a huge security hole.

But it should be immaterial to you, anyway. You can't go back to the
user's system and fetch it again, for instance.

If it's the filepath on your server you're looking to learn about, use
this:

I suggest you read the guides provided. But in short once the file is
uploaded, its in the $_FILES['fileElement']['tmp_name'] part of the
array (not the name like you might expect) and you need to move this
file to a location on your server, so as you choose this, you dont
need to "find out" where it is. It uploads to where ever the server
has its temp directory set to in the php.ini, but like i say, you need
to move the file out of there.

John

to store or not to store an image

I plan to have many images on my web application, up to as many as 5000. Not to mention the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
