You can't solve this issue with HTML+javascript+PHP alone. You will need plugin support (a Java applet, an ActiveX control, Flash). Google for "swfupload", though there are similar projects, it seems to be one of the easiest solutions as it only requires you to know javascript (no guarantees anyway).
