title: How do I get the full local path of a file uploaded with $_FILES
body: <p>I am uploaded a file through the file input.  If I print_r($_FILES), I can get several pieces of info, but it doesn't give me the full LOCAL path of the file (the path on my computer, not the server).  How do I get this?</p>
  
  <p>I need this to use the FTP library in CodeIgniter.  Documentation is <a href="http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/ftp.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> on how to use it to upload a file.</p>
  
  <p>As you can see, it requires the full local path, although I'm not sure why.</p>
