    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.
