Add a progress bar in Laravel form?

I am working on a simple profile update form and I need to have a progress bar for the photo upload. I am new to this and have no clue where to begin.

I am trying to upload the file as an input field in the form with the type as file. With larger files, I cannot track if the upload has failed or frozen and would like a progress bar.

I can create a bar which is filling according to percentage but I still need to have the information from the server which I don't understand how.

I read somewhere that PHP 5.4 and above provides this information via the $_SESSION in the form of session.upload_progress.name but I also read somewhere else that Laravel does not use the conventional session and this won't work.

Is there a way to get this to work. I don't have a multiple image upload so I don't wish to install those third party libraries out there. I just want to keep it simple and somehow fetch the upload information from the server.

What is the simplest way to go around this problem?

The simplest way is to do it via jQuery and AJAX - using something like http://www.dropzonejs.com/ - which is awesome and very easy to use
