If you need serious legacy support for cave-man days browsers, there is NO combination of headers that will work for ALL ancient browsers. You're really better off, and it's WAY easier, to just throw some random big into the URL that affects nothing server-side, but makes every URL unique to the browser, so the cache is never used. -- Some people have a gift link here.

Re: [PHP] Flash / Ajax / PHP
but the image, when updated, is still unstable on IE while still _perfectly_ stable on FireFox. This might be due to cacheing on IE which anyone who has messed with php online for a little time will be familier with. IE is a bitch at times... just likes the company that makes the software ;) Sometimes this gets solved with spitting out some headers telling IE not to cache while others have (dirty) solved it by adding a hash or something else unique to the page or the image... for example: php_script.php?get_img=img_namerandom=something_random_here HTH.

Thanks in advance, David David: Short answer is yes, you can pull all these together to deliver content. However, you need to understand not only php, but ActionScript. I don't see why you would need Ajax to do this because you would first create the Flash segment in the background and then simply bring it forward and present it in a Flash player.. I think I have an idea of what you are trying to do and I believe it would be best if you created graphics in the background using php and then brought it forward with Ajax as data changed, all without the need for flash. But, if you want to investigate the Flash-PHP connection try Google actionscript and php Cheers, tedd -- --- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I'm guessing I'm gonna have to live with suggesting users view with FireFox but I'll try to mock up a test case with Flash to satisfy my curiosity. Thanks, David
