How to get the full path in userfile?

Hi! Can anyone tell me how to get the whole path including the filename when I browse for a file? The file could be anywhere so I just couldn't add the path in my code.
This code only gives me the filename:
Code: Select all
$filename = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
Thanks!

I see.

Can you just suggest something to help me? What I'm trying to do is to convert word documents to html file. The class that I found requires the whole path or if the path isn't specified, it automatically searches for it in My Documents. My problem is what if the file isn't in my documents? I don't want to have to put all the files in My documents.

And also there's nowhere in the code where
it specified that it will search for the file in My Documents so meaning it's automatic and I can't change it?

...Huh?
If the file was uploaded then just feed it $_FILES[uploadname]["tmp_name"]. That's the full path of the file on your server.
(Unless you
moved it, of course.)
