Note that this style of upload will not have the same security treatment by PHP
as the $_FILES superglobal variable, and move_uploaded_file() and friends will
not be active for it either. This can become an awful security hole if you
aren't careful.

If you want to use the normal upload mechanism, you can use a "keyhole" iframe
as the target in your form action to post your file contents normally, and a
callback function in the window scope of the containing page to signal back
your updates. It looks like Ajax, but it's really just a multipart form post.
