Refresh image

Anon

hi,
I stored graph image as binary file into the file system . When i tried to update the image, the brower didn't load the new image unless i pressed Refresh button of the tool bar of the browser.
How can force the lastest image file display?

Thanks best regards.

if the image is called like this:
<img src=makeimage.php>

you could try to generate some dummy random number and add it to the script's address in form of a query string:

i've tried this with hyperlinks and it works because every new requested file will be recognized as a different file (that's not cached yet).

no guarantee ...

And if that doesn't work, you can encode the random number in the url, by using a script that handles a certain path. But that's probably more complicated than we need here.

The problem is that your IE is being overly-protective of its cache. If you set it to the setting below your current one (every visit), you will see the new one automatically (that's usually the best these days).
