Unless you want to pass every order and its status to the client you will have to submit a form and retrieve the status from the db, file, or where ever the status is being stored.
Try a little php to do a select from a db to see the status and return the result to the client.

This should be a pretty easy thing to do.
If you need help post agian and I will give more info.
