I am trying to use a form that is usually used for file uploads to obtain a
path/filename.
The form I'm using is:

<form id="f1" action="e.php" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" />
select file: <input name="cwdrf" size="55" type="file" value=""><br>
<input type=submit value=submit >
</form>

I'd like to get the path/ filename to the file, e.php:
<?
echo $_REQUEST['cwdrf'];
?>

Although the text window in the form shows the full path, only the file name
gets through to e.php.
Is there some predefined variable that will get the full path?
