[PHP] Weird caching problem with PHP4/Apache

[René Fournier]

Having successfully uploaded my PHP4+MySQL site finally to Fatcow (and the
MySQL stuff IS there--thanks for the help), I'm now left with making it
actually work online.  One curious problem:

For every page in the site ("*.php4"), I include three parts, a header.inc
(common to all), a body.inc (unique to each .php4 file), and a footer.inc
(common to all).  One of the things the header.inc file does is generate
select a background image randomly.  Very simple, and it works on my local
machine.  But as soon as I look at the page online, it seems Fatcow
(Apache/Zend?)caches the header.inc file--that is, the results of the php
script inside it, which generates the random background.  I say this because
no matter how many pages I look at, refreshing them, etc., I always get sent
the same original background image.  Even if I replace now the random
background image function in header.inc with the explicit name of a
different file, it STILL displays the same one.  Weird?  Is there some way
to ensure that each PHP4 file/script is interpreted every single time, and
not cached (as it seems)??

[PHP] weird caching problem

[Matt Greer]

I'm calling an image through a php file, but when I make changes to the
image, I can't get them to show. For some reason the old image is getting
cached somewhere, and none of the standard remedies are working (refreshing,
deleting cache, etc). What does work is changing the value of $icon and then
reflecting that change in my code. But that's not ideal for what I'm doing.
Any ideas?

Here's how I'm calling the image in php:

http://www.rcnchicago.com/~tortus/goombaw.gif";);
else header("Location: http://www.rcnchicago.com/~tortus/goombab.gif";);

?>

Thanks,

Matt
