I am having a bit of an issue getting the file path from the browser and was hoping that someone could help me out. I do know that in FF3 and Chrome that the file path isn’t available as a “security feature”. Unfortunately for me I am trying to upload files to the Rackspace Cloud using PHP on the back end and it requires the full filename. I’d like to be able to do this with AJAX instead of submitting the form but haven’t been able to find anything. Does anyone know a work around to get this data?

    Does anyone know a work around to get this data?

    There is none. I don’t think even Flash based uploaders do this any more. The original location is none of the receiving site’s business any more – that is the new rule; you need to change your programs accordingly.

    That wouldn’t be possible even if you had the full file name – you will not get read access to a local file (barring some new HTML 5 shenanigans that aren’t widely supported yet.)
