I need to retrive a path of the file system of an ezbinaryfile stored in ez from admin interface because I need to read this file from another php application written in a extension.

Not sure if that's what you need, but what you get in the templates with:

{$node.data_map.file.content.filepath}

where $node contains an object with 'file' attribute of ezbinaryfile type, I found in the PHP with:

$contentObjectID = 158;
$fileAttributeIdentifier  = 'file';

$fileContentObject = eZContentObject::fetch( $contentObjectID );
$fileContentObject->fetchDataMap();
$fileAttributeObject = $fileContentObject->DataMap[$fileContentObject->CurrentVersion][$fileContentObject->CurrentLanguage][$fileAttributeIdentifier];
$fileAttributeObject->content();
$fileObject = $fileAttributeObject->Content;
$filePath = $fileObject->filePath();

If there's a better/quicker method - I'd be grateful for comments.

Thanks Piotrek, this is the exact code that I need.

{$node.data_map.file.content.filepath}
