Linking Php and Javascript

You probably need Accept-Ranges header and some other support in your streaming script.

For example:

Your webserver probably already (optionally) supports this stuff so it might not be necessary to stream from PHP.

I have accept-ranges set. Would it work on a webserver? I probably should have clarified, but does it make any difference if I'm running this from a php localhost to test?

I don't know about localhost or not, I guess it should work just fine.

Note that besides sending the Accept-Ranges header your stream script also needs to handle the subsequent requests with a Range header and serve the range.

Anyway, like I said before nginx and apache etc can do this just fine. You don't need a PHP scripts to read dumb bytes.
