Dear McKirahan,

i need the client side path,not the server.if i choose a file from
desktop it should give the path.

$_FILES only give the filename,i need the full path.

Thank you for your help,

The browser doesn't send this, and rightly so, there is no way to
determine where the file came from when uploading using only HTML & PHP.
