The only way is to use multiform

<form action ="" method="post" enctype="multipart">
<input type="file" name="files[]">upload1
</form>

<form action ="" method="post" enctype="multipart">
<input type="file" name="files[]">upload2
</form>

<form action ="" method="post" enctype="multipart">
<input type="file" name="files[]">upload3
</form>

and upload using jquery upload plugin
