How to get the file path in html in PHP?

You shouldn’t just use the $_GET you’ve got now. Your file is based in $_FILES["csv_file"]["tmp_name"].

Best you review this tutorial, that basically says you need to do something like this:

<?php
if ($_FILES["csv_file"]["error"] > 0)
  {
  echo "Error: " . $_FILES["csv_file"]["error"] . "<br />";
  }
else
  {
  echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["csv_file"]["name"] . "<br />";
  echo "Type: " . $_FILES["csv_file"]["type"] . "<br />";
  echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["csv_file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
  echo "Stored in: " . $_FILES["csv_file"]["tmp_name"];
  }
?>

And you can go from there. Use move_uploaded_file if you want to move the file from the temp location, also explained in the tutorial 🙂
