      That you can capture by javascript but I am not sure, never done. Check the content of
      <input type="file"> using javascript, save it in some hidden input field and pass it to php at server.

          the server is not the least interested in the file location on the client, all that matters is the data, thus you only get the file path on the server where that data is stored.

              working example :)

              Code:
              <html>
  <head>
  <script>
  function getLocalFilePath(id,target)
  {
    alert(document.getElementById(id).value);
    document.getElementById(target).value = document.getElementById(id).value 
  }
  </script>
  </head>
  <body>
<form name="myform" onsubmit="javascript:getLocalFilePath('file','localfilepath');">
<input type="hidden" name="localfilepath" id="localfilepath" value="">
<input type="file" name="file" id="file">
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>
  </body>
</html>
