This is not possible.
It would be a security nightmare if this would be possible.
Imagine that every website could delete every file on your local computer. PHP runs on the server and the file is local. When you upload a file to a website then PHP is able to process that file because the browser sends the file to the server that runs the webserver with PHP.
