accessing full path of file on client computer after form submit

name can be accessed but can full file path without javascript?

[proper_bo]

I am aware that javascript could copy the value of a form file field over to a hidden variable on submit but I was wondering if there is any way to access the full path of the uploaded file on the client machine after submit?

$_FILES['file1']['name'] gives just file name.

The reason I ask is the following.

I want to submit the file in the background to another server without having to upload it to the temp folder first. The bandwidth is something I can do without wasting.

Any thoughts on this? Everything is in place except for being able to access the file.

Thanks

It would be much easier if you just used something like AJAX or PHP require to include a file from the server you want to upload on to handle the file upload. Otherwise, just create an iframe, and link to an uploader on the upload server

How would you use Ajax in this situation as it can't send files?
An include would still require the page to submit to the other server.

I can only see the iframe as an option really. Not a massive problem but not ideal.
