Are you meaning timeout limit? Not PHP script execution limit in php.ini?
What I understand, the PHP script does not run until the file is uploaded to
the server via POST.

You will have also to consider the browser's timeout limit. Uploading a
100MB file via HTTP POST will probably take quite a long time that the
browser will timeout and interrupt the transfer.

I got a thought, but didn't try to check it out:
If there's a way to split a file to small chunks (i.e 2MB a chunk), then you
can use JS Remote Scripting (HTTPRequest) to upload the chunks one by one,
and then append all chunks on server side and you get the 100MB file. This
way you can also display a progress bar of uploading. Of course the chunks
will be transffered like packets (in TCP), so each chunk will have an header
that relates it to the original file.
The part that is not well cleared to me is whether is possible to split a
file into chunks using JS.
What do you think?

-thanks, Eli
