How to get File Path of File Uploaded Through Custom Option

Question

I'm working with a function that runs immediately after a user submits an order to his/her Magento shopping cart, and I'm trying to get the URL for the file the user has just uploaded, so that I can manipulate it before the order is officially submitted.

I'm getting the quote data correct, and when I output the object with print_r, I can SEE where the URL is in the object data, but I can't write the code to actually pull that specifically. Here's a snippet of my function:

    <?php
        class Image_Processor_Model_Observer {
          public function autoMetaDescription(Varien_Event_Observer $observer) {

          $checkout = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote();
          $options = $checkout->getProductOptions();
          $sales_quote = $options->sales_quote;

          print "<pre>";
          print_r($checkout);
          print "</pre>";

         die();
        }
      }
    ?>

And here's a snippet of the output I'd like to access:

[option_3] => Mage_Sales_Model_Quote_Item_Option Object
                                                                (
                                                                    [_item:protected] => Mage_Sales_Model_Quote_Item Object

                                                                        )

I hope that's all clear. I just need the .jpg path you see in the 'value' part of the output. Any ideas how to pull that? Thanks!

You should be able to go $uploadedImage = json_decode($checkout->getValue()); to decode the submitted values. You then should be able to then use $path = $uploadedImage->fullpath to get the full path of the image which in your example is D:\Our Files\Web\lifewall\media\custom_options\quote\E\a\9884fbc76ede5ddb9ef991b83c17f8ae.jpg or you could use $url= $uploadedImage->quote_path to get the url \media\custom_options\quote\E\a\9884fbc76ede5ddb9ef991b83c17f8ae.jpg and then use $fullUrl = Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_MEDIA) . $url
