Use the filetransfer API – http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.0.0/phonegap_file_file.md.html#FileTransfer should do the trick 🙂

Edit –
To use the filetransfer you would do something like this..

var options = new FileUploadOptions();
options.fileKey="photo";
options.fileName=fileURI.substr(fileURI.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
options.mimeType="image/jpeg";

var params = new Object();
params.value1 = "test";
params.value2 = "param";

options.params = params;

var ft = new FileTransfer();
ft.upload(fileURI, "http://some.server.com/upload.php", win, fail, options);

Make sure you’re defining the fileURI. On your server you would be looking for a post with a name of “photo” or what ever you call the fileKey.
