Full file path on Bash prompt

Question

Currently my bash prompt looks like this

[user_name@server]$

when I cd into a path /dir1/dir2/dir3

it changes to

[user_name@server dir3]$

I want it to show the full path as

[user_name@server dir1/dir2/dir3]$

How can I do this ?

If you set PS1="[\u@\h: \w/]\$" in your bash setup scripts (~/.bashrc for me) then you will get (eg) [alan@alan-Z87MX-D3H: ~/]$
