You can do this through a multipart/form-data upload.  There should be lots of documents and examples on the web for this functionality.

Be sure to white list the domain you will be uploading to in the config.xml file in the <access> element.

<form action="addImage.jsp" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type=”file” name=”image_upload”>
    <input type=”submit value=”Upload”>
</form>

hi i'm know html/js/php ... but i don't where i can start for build an widget (bb API and so on ...) :/

[tneil]

To do what you are looking for, it does not require any specific widget or BlackBerry API knowledge.  Uploading a file from a web page is standard HTML functionality that should work either in a widget or the normal BlackBerry Browser.

Do you have a specific question on the widget or BlackBerry API?  I just want to make sure I am addressing your question.

Cheers,

well .. i wont build a widget similar a facebook application for upload image.. but i wont upload image by my photocam on my server (upload is protect with a passwd) tnks for all

Instead of using the form submit, you could always use a method such as AJAX..

Here is an example of using AJAX to upload a file:

You can also set your username and password on your AJAX call for your server's authentication.

dear tim, in the http://www.webtoolkit.info/ajax-file-upload.html that u post, the acrtion from is to index.php is that the index.php are include in the application that i build? or the index.php is in another domain? if include, are php can run in blackberry? if not, is this us cross domain? because i already test and open with error : permission denied for <> to get property htmlDocument.location i think the ajax cannot cross domain, i dunno is that true or not thx

[tneil]

index.php is on the server.  You are not able to package and run php files on a BlackBerry.  In a WebWorks application you can allow cross domain/origin AJAX calls by white listing the domain/origin in the config.xml file in the <access> elements.
