I want to get the file path instead of the file name using <input type="file"/>
I'm working on a school project and want the user to select a location to save a file.
I've googled this issue and went on many different sites but didn't find a solution.

<input type="file"> can't do this. The reason is it is used for uploads, and the script on the server is responsible for deciding where to store the file. Do you really want to let a user store a file in C:\Windows\system32 on your server?

You could do this using PHP, such as allowing them to upload to a select few locations.
