IE not refreshing PHP pages

Anon

Hello everyone.

I am somewhat new to php coding.
I recently created a page that takes user supplied info using a form, spits it into a database, and then on another page, spits out the info onto the page from the database.

This is what I notice. I can add the info into the db from the page. When I go to the page where it spits out the info, I notice that it does not refresh with the latest submission. I hit refresh, shift+refresh, but nothing changes.

This is a problem for the casual browser who wants to see if theres something new added to the section.

This problem only occurs with IE, not Netscape. Any ideas?

Thanks !

upgrading to ie 5.5 seems to fix the issue for me. i had the same problem and tried several ways to stop ie from pulling the page from cache.

Maybe you can force your browser to be refreshed, if you put current time in hours, minutes, and seconds on your page ?

You can use some java script, there are plenty for free on the internet..

Or I wrote a snippet to do the same thing in PHP..

You can do all that pragma nocache stuff, or add a timestamp to the page's url - that might make IE reload the page

http://www.server.com/page.php?id=98523452345

worth a try!

Make sure your IE's cache thing is set to update page every visit.
