You can simply run

pecl install uploadprogress 

If that does not work due to you having noexec on /tmp, as you should, you can then compile it from source. 

A good how to is here:

Download latest software from

PECL :: Package :: uploadprogress

Install


cd /usr/local/src
wget http://pecl.php.net/get/uploadprogress-1.0.0.tgz
tar -zxvf uploadprogress-1.0.0.tgz
cd uploadprogress-1.0.0
phpize
./configure
make
make install

make install will show


# make install
Installing shared extensions: /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/
#

There will be line with the above path in php.ini

Edit php.ini file and add

extension = "uploadprogress.so"

Below the line

extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613"

Now php -m will list uploadprogressbar as a module

Now restart web server

service httpd restart
