You can upload image from iOS App to PHP server like this two way:

Using New AFNetworking :

#import "AFHTTPRequestOperation.h"
#import "AFHTTPRequestOperationManager.h"

    NSString *stringUrl =@"http://www.myserverurl.com/file/uloaddetails.php?"
    NSString *string =@"http://myimageurkstrn.com/img/myimage.png"       
    NSURL *filePath = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:string];

   NSDictionary *parameters  = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:userid,@"id",String_FullName,@"fname",String_Email,@"emailid",String_City,@"city",String_Country,@"country",String_City,@"state",String_TextView,@"bio", nil];

    AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];

    [manager POST:stringUrl parameters:parameters constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id formData)
     {
         [formData appendPartWithFileURL:filePath name:@"userfile" error:nil];//here userfile is a paramiter for your image 
     }
     success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject)
     {
         NSLog(@"%@",[responseObject valueForKey:@"Root"]);
         Alert_Success_fail = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"myappname" message:string delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"ok" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
         [Alert_Success_fail show];     

     }
     failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error)
     {
         Alert_Success_fail = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"myappname" message:[error localizedDescription] delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"ok" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
         [Alert_Success_fail show];

     }];

Second use NSURLConnection:

-(void)uploadImage
    {       
        NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(yourImage);

        NSString *urlString = [ NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://yourUploadImageURl.php?intid=%@",1];

        NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
        [request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
        [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];

        NSString *boundary = [NSString stringWithString:@"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449"];
        NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"multipart/form-data; boundary=%@",boundary];
        [request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Type"];

        NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
        [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
        [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"userfile\"; filename=\"%@\"\r\n", 1]] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
        [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:@"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
        [body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:imageData]];
        [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@--\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
        [request setHTTPBody:body];

        [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
    }

This both way working fine for uploading image from app to php server hope this helps for you.
