I've developed a page that is composed of HTML and PHP and it pulls info from a DB to create a dynamic page. The one issue I'm seeing is that I'm having to hit refresh to get the page to pull information newly added to the DB. The browser seems to be pulling from cache. Is there a tag or script I can use to tell the browser to never pull this page from cache? Thanks.

Using PHP:
CODE if( !headers_sent() ) { header('Expires: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . 'GMT'); header('Cache-control: no-cache'); } Or using plain HTML: CODE <META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Tue, 04 Dec 1993 21:29:02 GMT"> Of course, you may put any expiration date, the ones above are merely examples, though they would expire the content immediatley! I hope that helps! |

Can this be done without PHP... maybe just Javascript ? It can be useful for me if it's done on Javascript... |

So you're looking at a page, then you update the database and then you have to refresh your page to see the changes? Well I'm afraid that's the only way it's gonna work. How else is the page gonna update unless you refresh the browser? Unless you're talking about having to refresh more than once to see the changes. If you're talking about just one single refresh, then that's completely normal. |

Yes, it can be done without PHP, just look at the example I posted using HTML..  |

The thing about doing it in Javascript is that not everyone has Javascript enabled. If it's really important to make your pages dynamic, you should do it with something that people can't turn off.
That, and it may not even be possible to do it with Javascript. |
