Rather than using iframes, i'd suggest using the php include/require function.
Here's how:

<?php include('filename.php'); ?>
or
<?php require('filename.php'); ?>

more information about this function available here:

If you must use an iframe, the only way to update the parent page is with javascript.

When the php page in the iframe is finished loading, you have it call a piece of javascript like parent.getElementById['id'].innerHTML = 'Done processing';

Both the iframe and parent page must be on the exact same domain.
