You can't; PHP doesn't start running code until the file upload has finished.

I recall there being a patch to support upload progress displays (through
partial output and buffering and/or Javascript probably) but IIRC these
required a patch to PHP itself to modify how it receives file uploads.

Splitting it server-side is easy enough but doesn't sound it's what you're
after. Splitting it client-side with just (portable) Javascript doesn't sound
possible given how restricted it is (and rightly so) in accessing the user's
machine.
