You can't. HTTP upload doesn't send the path of the file. Doing such
could be considered a huge security hole.

But it should be immaterial to you, anyway. You can't go back to the
user's system and fetch it again, for instance.

If it's the filepath on your server you're looking to learn about, use
this:

I suggest you read the guides provided. But in short once the file is
uploaded, its in the $_FILES['fileElement']['tmp_name'] part of the
array (not the name like you might expect) and you need to move this
file to a location on your server, so as you choose this, you dont
need to "find out" where it is. It uploads to where ever the server
has its temp directory set to in the php.ini, but like i say, you need
to move the file out of there.
