Hi. I want my php application to allow the user to select a file from their computer. I then want to store the file's path, but I don't want to upload the file.

With the <input type="file" />, the file is uploaded, which would take too long.

Is there a way to do this? Maybe if I change the input's type to text with jquery right before the form is sent? I could just let the user type the path, but that is not very convenient...
