Disabling Client How-TO:

Anon

Hey,

Ok lemme first explain my problem. I use phpMyAdmin to manipulate my MySQL DBs and I have more than 20 seperate users who login to phpMyadmin.

My problem is the client compluter caches the pages so eventho sum1 logs out and a new user logs in, they still get the cached page until they press Ctrl + "Refresh".

I tried to use the mod_expires module of Apache2 but it is not working.

So to make things simpler, all i want is to disable client side caching of .php files.

Thnx in advance 4 ne help

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-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");  // HTTP/1.1
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
header("Pragma: no-cache");

Use this.

How, ironic. I was just going to say that...

I have had some problems in the past where IE would keep the cache so even when you have sent the Shift/Ctrl + Refresh to the browser, and then hit back you would get old content even with the cache-control related headers.

The best way to stopthis, ive found, but still annoying is to open the newly logged user in a new window (can't remember if phpMyadmin supports this) but then there would not be any cache for that IE session.
