Hi,

The HTML part for fileuploads is easy (assuming you know HTML)
Google for file upload, follow first link:
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/file.html

for an introduction.

About saving the file path: forget it.
Fileuploads only send the file(s) to the server, NOT the path where they
reside on the clientmachine.
Even Javascript will not help you with this: It is also crippled on
purpose when it come to real paths and files.

Reason?
It is none of the server's business where the original file is on the
client.
