I just spent some time looking around on google for the PHP extension to give users feedback on how far an upload is in PHP... and it was not that straight forward.

So I share here, the pecl extension is uploadprogress - (not "upload progress").

Unfortunately uploadprogress, would not work on my test machine (UBUNTU) so I went for the apc solution:
See example, see sourcecode - which was the one I was looking for in the first place, to make the example work you need to do following:

Commandline:
$ pecl install apc

Open php.ini and add following:
extension=apc.so
apc.rfc1867 = 1
