You might want to look at how the mozilla add-on firefogg does it.
They have server code example for php.

Basically it splits the file up into chunks (as it encodes it but 
encoding isn't your concern) and when a chunk is received, message is 
sent back to the client telling the client it is OK to send the next chunk.

It may be dependent upon browser functionality though, since it is the 
browser that splits the large upload into smaller manageable chunks.
