anti-caching ?

[friendlygiraffe]

Hello,

I am using Flash and PHP to write variables to a text file

On some platforms, when the variables are re-read into Flash the changes are not visible until the user has quit their browser

Someone mentioned that I could use another php script to read the saved file and add anti-caching instructions to the php

Here is a script I am using:

<?

$fp = fopen ("$nome_arquivo", "w+");
    fwrite($fp,stripslashes("$asda"));
    fclose($fp);

?>

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I am new to PHP, so any help appreciated

Thanks,
fg

<?
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
$fp = fopen ("$nome_arquivo", "w+");
fwrite($fp,stripslashes("$asda"));
fclose($fp);

?>

If it actually reads the header, that should work. I know it works for browsers.

If it dosen't work, you could try to make the swf refresh every time by having php output the flash. Or even look into libming for php, it is a way of generating flash on the fly with php.
