Image Uploader
This screen allows users to upload images to a backend server. Users snap a new picture or select an image from their library before uploading. There are lots of uses for this type of screen. One popular use is allowing users to add images to an Image Gallery that shows images from a folder on a remote server. Here's a sample .PHP script to demonstrate how to handle image uploads on a remote server. If you need to send images to other online services such as Facebook™ or Flickr™ it's usually easier to use an Image Emailer instead of an image uploader.
