Well.... technically, it is only the filename that is "returned" to the
processing script...

You could possibly use some client-side javascript to get the filename and
leave the path behind, use a hidden field to hold the actual full path of
the file to be uploaded, and populate a textbox with just the filename, but
it is a bit convoluted. What is your reasoning for this?

You're quite welcome old bean ;)
