Interaction to write to a input file type is denied in browsers not to read
the value so you can can get the full path using JavaScript like any other
input in the form(document.formname.inputname.value) and pass it to other
input field lets say input fullpath using something like
document.formname.fullpath = document.formname.inputname.value <-- all using
javascript
So yes you can get the fullpath however you should redirect your question
to a JavaScript List or perhaps a javascript-php list.
