I would use:
$step1 = ereg_replace(trim("^[:alpha:]"),"",$_POST['path']);
This will remove the first letter of the string. You should use this,
unless this letter is "T" forever. As far as I can see, this is for
Windows, and the letter may change depending on the machine.
On the other hand, you should verify that the user is sending you a
right path.
The instruction I suggested you is based on Regular Expressions. If you
want to get more information about them, I suggest you:

PS: If get_magic_quotes_gpc() returns true, you should use
stripslashes() too:
$step1 = ereg_replace(trim("^[:alpha:]"),"", stripslashes($_POST['path']));
