Thanks

I've looked into this several times.

It is not possible to provide an upload status indicator with php versions earlier than 5.2.0. You can do this with a mixed php/perl approach, but I'm not sure I want to start learning all the consequences.

Php 5.2.0, released late in 2006, has hooks built in to enable monitoring of uploads. I've tested this using a stand-alone program, and it works. However, the hooks are only accessible if you also install and use the APC (advanced cache) system for php on your server. I've found that this works fine on production boards but creates problems if any code is unstable.

So my advice for the time being is 'lets not rush this'. When the basic php software becomes more robust, I'll be happy to add an upload meter.
