This may help. You can pass some URL encoded data with the FileReference
upload method.
file_fr.upload("upload.php?testvar=Hello World " +Date());
Then this is a demo on how you can see that data, which you would need to
rework to use to set the path.
<?php
if ($_FILES['Filedata']['name']) {
$uploadDir = "images/";
$uploadFile = $uploadDir . basename($_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $uploadFile);
}
$filename = "output.txt";
$fp = fopen( $filename,"w+");
fwrite ( $fp, "Test" );
fwrite ( $fp, $_REQUEST['testvar'] );
fclose( $fp );
?>
