PHPLIB .js file Caching problems

[Anon]

I am outputting pages which include embedded javascript .js files.

The problem is that the old files are being cached by the browser (IE 5.0) unless I manually refresh.

I am using PHP 4.0RC1 and PHPLIB 7.2b and sessions are working fine.

I have tried setting allowcache = "no" in my session instances but it doesn't seem to help.

Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

Thank you.

You could just output the javascript to the page instead of including the js file in your html. This would be done on the server so you wouldn't have to worry about client side cacheing.

The html source doesn't look as nice but I think this would solve your problem.

Thanks for the very prompt response. I didn't respond as promptly because I wanted to try some other things (like every imaginable header() variant).

I may wind up doing something similiar to your suggestion (assembling pre-built html fragments and serving them up on the fly) but I still would like to crack the original problem.

I'm going to try some things in Perl to see if this is a PHP problem or an IE problem.

Thanks again.

Thanks again. I took a quick look and it seems promising (it also answers another question I had about parsing sub-directory-type urls).

I'll let you know how it works out.
