Sounds like the drain for your A/C evaporator is clogged.  If you remove 
the little plastic by the passenger footwell cover you will see a 4 inch 
plastic tube that you can yank out, spilling more water on your floor, and 
then clean the tube out.  To avoid the mess, use a coathanger from under 
the car to clean out the tube.  I usually make a little hook shape on the 
end of the hanger and try to pull out the leaves and muck from underneath.
