It took me five years to figure out something that PHP cannot do. For a recent project we needed to display a progress monitor as files were being uploaded to the server. We quickly realized that PHP cannot produce such an indicator dialog.

To create a progress bar you need to measure how many bytes have been uploaded and compare this against the total number of bytes to be uploaded. (The total file size) This information can only be retrieved by manually processing the form submission.

While other technologies like perl or J2EE gives access to the raw POST data PHP does not.
