You can use <input type="file" value="path/to/file"> but it won't work in
Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Opera.

JavaScript allows certain advanced file operations when using it from your
hard disk. See these pages:

Maybe you can produce a form the user can save in his hard disk.

As about PHP, it obviously has no way to reach the client computer.
