There's also a package called uploadprogress or something like that in
PECL.

I think that's not possible in a good way as the uploading process would
have to open and parse the session file, update the status, serialize it
and store it again to disk everytime the status changes (aka. every few
bytes received), APC does that using shared memory, uploadprogress using
special files in /tmp, I think.
