Whether it can be done (simply) or not depends on how the phone uploads the information.

yes it can.

What you do is you send the movie or image via text message ( or mms ) to your server. Have your server parse the email and save the file.

Possible through mms if your Mobile has MMS capability and your service provides the facility for MMS(MultiMedia messaging) which is mostly in C or C++ code.

MMS reaches an email. From retrieving email to posting on to website you can use , PHP or any other server side language You will need to write a pop client to retrieve your the emails and parse it accordingly and post into the database or a folder where the server stores images or media

I saw it done: uploading pictures directly from a mobile phone to server but the server was running ASP.NET. Tutorials on this matter I haven' t seen on the web. There a few books on working with mobile search there. Sorry I can help more.
