I believe php 5.2 with some minor configuration supports upload status:

Uh... that sounds like an elaborate, ugly and unreliable hack. And that is all it really can be. Keep in mind: PHP does not perform uploading at all. It does not run in the browser, so it can't upload anything. It's the browser itself that does this, based on what the HTML tells it to do, and using basic features of HTTP. Browsers *could* easily show a progress indicator for file uploads -- but for some reason, they don't.
Anyway, HTTP doesn't support feedback during upload (or any feedback, really), and HTML does not offer a way for multi-file uploads (which would also be quite handy). Any solutions I have so far seen for that are based either on a Java Applet or on Falsh. Both are rather cluncky and and ugly solutions. HTTP and HTML being what they are, I'm afraid we won't see a decent free, reliably and widely compatible solution for this any time soon.
Or maybe HTML5 has something for this?
