hi all.. I'm trying to open a file from a location in user's computer, using a form with <input type=file ..>, and I put the path into $filename.

There's no problem when I try it using Internet Explorer. For example, if the path is "D:\Jim\text.txt" then that's exactly what $filename contains.

But when I try using Firefox and Opera, $filename contains only "text.txt", the path is not included. How can it be different using different browser? What should I do so that it can also work with Firefox and Opera?

Thank you very much.
