It should not concern the server script, what the original path and file
location of the uploaded file was, thus no such information is sent to the
server. Just the name of the original file. I'm wondering what were you
going to do with the path information. Whatever the reason, you can't do
that using the file field, it simply doesn't send such information.
Use print_r($_FILES); to see what information of the file is provided in
php.
