Get full path with file input ? (IMGUR related)

I'm trying to add a file upload to a form in cake 2.x :

Controller :

public function add() {

        if ($this->request->is('post')) {
        $this->request->data['Post']['user_id'] = $this->Auth->user('id'); //stores user id
        $filename = $this->request->data['Post']['imgur'];
        $handle = fopen($filename, "r");
           $data = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
       
           // $data is file data
           $pvars   = array('image' => base64_encode($data), 'key' => 'a2b334c7cb5353ae110aea1d7d51b91e');
           $timeout = 30;
           $curl    = curl_init();
       
           curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://api.imgur.com/2/upload.xml');
           curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, $timeout);
           curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
           curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
           curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $pvars);
       
           $xml = curl_exec($curl);
       
           curl_close ($curl);
           
           debug($xml);
            if ($this->Post->save($this->request->data)) {
                $this->Session->setFlash('Your post has been saved.');
                $this->redirect(array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'timeline', $this->Auth->user('username')));
            } else {
                $this->Session->setFlash('Unable to add your post.');
            }
        }
    }

Form :

<form class="form-inline" action="/manager/posts/add" method="post" style="margin-bottom: 0px;">
                      <input type="text" name="data[Post][game_name]" class="input" id="game_name" style="width:250px;">
 <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary"><i class="icon-ok icon-white"></i></button>
 <input type="file" name="data[Post][imgur]" id="imgur" value="" />  
 
</form> 

This should work wel, except cake send only the file name, not the full path, so it's not uploaded to imgur :

Warning (2): fopen(picture.png) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory [APP/Controller/PostsController.php, line 23]

 

Any idea on how to make it work ? Perhaps with a temp folder ? 

Thanks a lot !
