iPhone File Upload with HTML

Is there any way to use <input type="file"> in Safari on iPhone/iPod Touch? Or is there something similar that I can use inside the browser? I want to upload a photo from the device to my database using the browser.

This is possible with iOs 6 or greater (http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/#safari). The browser renders 

<input type="file">

and clicking on "Choose File" prompts the user to take a new photo or choose existing from the photo library.

I had the same problem today. The alternative browser iCab Mobile does support file uploads. I got it for my iPad and (at least for me) file upload works fine.

Can't be done with plain XHTML/javascript as Safari does not support uploads. See this previous question for a potential workaround solution to upload photos.
