Answer 1

One of the most enticipated and needed things in Magento is File upload Custom Option. As discussed last year at Magento Forum, it is not completed nor tested.

Now, Magento already have frontend and admin part of file upload option implemented in themes. Since backend part is still missing, understand that this still doesn’t work, however, if you’re interested how it looks, read on

Answer 2

First upload image in media/import

if(isset($_FILES['file']['name']) && $_FILES['file']['name'] != '') {
    $fileName       = $_FILES['file']['name'];
    $fileExt        = strtolower(substr(strrchr($fileName, "."), 1));
    $fileNamewoe    = rtrim($fileName, $fileExt);
    $fileName       = str_replace(' ', '', $fileNamewoe) . $fileExt;

    $uploader       = new Varien_File_Uploader('file');
    $uploader->setAllowedExtensions(array('png', 'jpg', 'jpeg')); //allowed extensions
    $uploader->setAllowRenameFiles(false);
    $uploader->setFilesDispersion(false);
    $path = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS . 'import';
    if(!is_dir($path)){
        mkdir($path, 0777, true);
    }
    $uploader->save($path . DS, $fileName );
}

Now save product with uploaded image

Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($id);
$product->setMediaGallery (array('images'=>array (), 'values'=>array ())) //media gallery initialization
$imagePath = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS . 'import/'. $fileName;
$product->addImageToMediaGallery($imagePath,array('image', 'small_image', 'thumbnail'),true,false);
$product->save();
