upload progress

[fileserverdirect]

Unfortunately, that script does not show a percentage done, just how much of the file has been uploaded, But I guess that's the best you can do without php extensions. Is there anyway to know the file size of a file BEFORE it's done uploading? Because I'm pretty sure there is; I have seen sites that say before you upload it that it is not the right file size or such, (Maybe even uploading to the forums here, I forget). The key is to access $_FILES while it's uploading...
Here's a W3 page that uses file restrictions, and it uses $_FILES, but Only after it's uploaded: http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_file_upload.asp
What if the action of a forum was to a page with an iframe in which had php code that read $_FILES. Or maybe because it wasn't the action, $_FILES would be null.... Hmmmm

The request is not sent until the file is up. I still see no way.
