You need to have some code on the client side to do the image resizing for you. Take a look at Plupload based on this discussion.

... have a look at jCrop plugin for jQuery. The download contains a php script to deal with it. Imho it would be decent place to start. Client side provides some cropping and sizing information for the server side. Or just google php and image resizing. There should be a lot of samples and tutorials on that.
