caching of images

[Anon]

I change some pictures dynamically from php. When I return to my page (which has this images) I don't see the new image. Looks like IE5 is caching the images. I have to do a Shift-Reload to see the new pic.

I already tried with
header ("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
header ("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
// always modified
header ("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header ("Pragma: no-cache"); // HTTP/1.0

But no luck. Any help?

Thanks a lot

I'm having the same problem 🙁

This is a common problem. The easiest way to go around this is to set a random parameter on the image... like this:

<img src="lala.gif?<? echo rand(); ?>">

that way the src for the image would look somethign like this:

<img src="lala.gif?0.876546584">

where the number is a random number

make sure that you set a proper seed with srand() first.
