When I last did this, you had to use Alternate PHP Cache (APC) which may or may not be installed on
servers. The almost ubiquitous Suhosin patch prevented the APC from providing the incremental
updates reliably, so many servers will not do this even though they have APC available. The one
other alternative was to use Flash which has some limitations (especially for large files,
especially on Macs/Safari).
In the modern era, I think there is a new PHP infrastructure for this via "Session Upload
Progress". In your search for code, I would look for something exploiting this newer approach.
