Parsing FileName for upload

If a user selects a file on a Windows box, with IE at least, the FULL
PATH of the file on the user's system is transmitted to the server.

If the user does the same thing using Opera on a Linux box, and
apparently Firebird, then only the specific filename gets transmitted
to the server.

I've been going batty trying to figure out a routine that will detect
when there is a full path sent and parse the file name from that path,
and when there is only a file name sent.

I would dearly appreciate anyone who can help with this. I found many
references to parsing filenames, but nothing I could translate or make
work for this specific situation. Although I only went thru a couple
dozen posts, it's true.
