You will have to use mainly Javascript for this. What I have done in the past is:
STEP 1. In the <form> tag put a onSubmit argument which does a window.open(). This should pop up a small window which you can use writeln() to add content to it. Like your 'Uploading...' message or an image. STEP 2. Also in the onSubmit argument, set this.target = the new window name. This will make the form post to the popup window. STEP 3 When the file is finished uploading, I get the PHP to output the javascript: window.opener.refresh(); // Refreshes the main window window.opener.focus(); // Brings the main window to the top window.close(); // Closes the popup window. This should sort you out.
