Return file path in jQuery file upload Blueimp(PHP)

Question

I wanted a fancy upload bar for my website and felt this one 's pretty cool I have had different problems but finally managed to upload.

Question : How do I get the path of the uploaded file to insert in my database?

Answer 1

In the function handle_file_upload in the upload.class.php file, after $file_path , I added:

$url = 'YOUR PATH HERE/files/'.$file->name; 

And then I included the $url var in my db insert. The YOUR PATH HERE would be whatever your structure is to get the /server/php/files/ directory.

Answer 2

There is no way to get the file path as it is stored on the client machine (security issue).

You can get only the file name.

EDIT: Although some browsers (IE) may provide you with the path you cannot and should not rely on it.
