Stop CACHING code but CACHE images: how?

marcnyc

Hello everybody.

I have a PHP site with dynamic content so I need to STOP the browser from caching because I have noticed that when caching is used by default it sometimes shows old contents fetched from the cache, while instead new stuff is on the page remotely.

I tried this in the <head>:
<META NAME="expires" CONTENT="0">
<META NAME="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META NAME="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-cache">

and I have noticed that everything slows down, especially because all the images aren't cached anymore either, so here is my question:

Is there a way to STOP THE BROWSER from CACHING everything BUT the images? In other words I would like that browsers DO cache images but DO NOT cache html/php code.

Thank you for your help.

Hmm you re caught between a rock and a hard place.

You want the most up to date content (hence the no caching) yet you want to the images to load quicker.

Why not simply "splice" you images so that way they will load faster ?

How can you splice the images? I'm new to PHP coming from asp there are a lot of differences
