The global $_FILES provides the name of a file submitted in an html

Not in plain PHP, but you could add a hidden input field, into which you
save the path set in the file-input field with help of javascript and
hope that the users using your form will have the javascript enabled.

Sorry, javascript can't do it, either. Among other things it would be a huge security hole.
