Folder Choose in Html

Question

I just want users select folder path.

For example;

User choose 'D:/example/' folder.

Then im save 'D:/example/' to my database.

<input type='file'> doesnt work for me . I just need folder path

How can i do that ?

Edit: Everyone show this for answer

but this is not my question. It listing directory.

I just want folder path like d:/asd/ user pick asd folder on d.

so i save my database to 'd:/asd/' .just this

I dont know how can i explain more.

A far better and more detailed explanation of problem is definitely needed. Have no idea what you are trying to do — charlietfl, Feb 07 '16 at 23:23
i dont know how can i explain different way . Its very simple. When users click browse button in the site i want them select folder not file — ozgursana, Feb 07 '16 at 23:25
Please note that for obvious security reasons browser won't give local directory information on `file` input — charlietfl, Feb 07 '16 at 23:25

*"When users click browse button in the site i want them select folder not file"* - That is up to the person at the other end to do that, not you. — Funk Forty Niner, Feb 07 '16 at 23:27
i will use it on localhost. Is there any way to do that ? @charlietfl — ozgursana, Feb 07 '16 at 23:28
that possible duplicate posted up there seems to only work with Chrome. — Funk Forty Niner, Feb 07 '16 at 23:28
@txtechhelp this is listing folder. i dont want this. I just want user select a folder like first example. — ozgursana, Feb 07 '16 at 23:34

I hope this can help you

you can see the folder name in alert when select a file

<script type="text/javascript">
  function getfolder(e) {
    var files = e.target.files;
    var path = files[0].webkitRelativePath;
    var Folder = path.split("/");
    alert(Folder[0]);
  }
</script>

<input type="file" id="flup" onchange="getfolder(event)" webkitdirectory mozdirectory msdirectory odirectory directory multiple />

Does it work on mobile phone? – Amanullah Aman Sep 09 '18 at 09:33
@AmanullahAman I've tried, but from Chrome mobile it isn't working... The file selector opens, but then no alert shows... – FZs Sep 13 '19 at 04:56
