Send a local picture file to webserver

Hi Guys,

For a mobile application I need to upload a picture from the local gallery to my webserver.

Requesting the local file isn't the issue i can load it (for example) via filereader plugin,but how do i get the file send to my server?

Tried also "go to URL" to HTML file on webserver which contains a FORM with FILE type POST. Then catch it with PHP, works on desktop. But on mobile devices after selecting a picture it restarts (or reloads) my app. so the POST never happened.

"open URL in new window" don't even let me select a file when clicking on browse!!

This issue is bugging me for a couple of day now , so I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.

Cheers, Xam

Thank you, but this seem to only work for uploading NEW pictures which are directly loaded onto the canvas.

The browsing for a picture and loading this onto the canvas / sprite seems to be the issue now.

Filereader plugin is not compatible with mobile devices (using phonegap build)
