sending image to server using HTTP connection

I'm using the Nokia Series 60 emulator and MMAPI to capture and image and send it to a server via HTTP.
Can this be done using HTTP POST or is there another way to get the image to a server via HTTP? If someone has done this before, could you send some sample code of what the HTTP connection properties look like and how the image bytes are sent through the output stream?
On the server side I am trying to use PHP to display the png image sent from the phone on a web page.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Yes, you can. No special connection property is needed. I just write the entire byte array to the stream and then readFully() from the servlet. The server then saves it a local file with an appropriate extension (according to you capturing options). But I do not know to do it with PHP servers. If you know, please post back.

Thanks for your reply Michael. We originally tried using the code in your reply but this didn't seem to work with PHP. We just found that the following solution works when receiving the image with a PHP page.
client side:

PHP server side:

In the above example "bytes" is the name of the POST variable and the content-type must be "multipart/form-data". The "boundary" string is also needed for "multipart/form-data" transfers. The PHP code creates a file from the "bytes" POST variable called 'testDATE.png' where DATE is the time the file was created.

Great. Thanks for the tip!

When I think about it, you can use Base64 to encode byte arrays to ASCII strings on both ends of the communication as well.

The third post given shows example that it is correct i tried the same example...but its not sending anything to server.

PHP code

<?php

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'])." has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";

Change the URL, image path and image name and try it .................

@Manuja Jayamanne - you just failed to mention you got this code from Sony Ericsson website

Little bit delayed for reply.
Actually sorry for not mentioning the site. Anyway this code will help to lot of people
