Currently impossible with vanilla php, because the post request isn't
handed off to your scripts until after the upload has finished.

If you're feeling brave, Christian Stocker has written an extension
for php 5.2 that enables upload progress, see his blog entry from last
month: http://tinyurl.com/yxrleh

Haven't tried it, wouldn't use it in production, but quite glad to see
the possibility that we'll be able to do this in the near future!
