Re: Session problems based on browser?

I mentioned a couple in a previous email: header("Expires: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s", time()) . " GMT"); header("Cache-Control: Private"); Most HTTP headers with regards to caching are more intended to dictate proxy behavior. For example, the header above specifying that cache-control be private keeps personal information sent in a POST from being cached. In fact, many people include that header at the beginning of any script receiving POST data (there are clean ways to do this with well-designed architectures). I honestly don't know which HTTP headers IE will be most interested in, so you might want to do a tad bit of research. Here is another to try: header("Pragma: no-cache"); Let me know if any of this does/doesn't work. I should give more concrete answers, but I don't have much time this evening. :) Chris César Aracena wrote:

Hi all. I'm having the same problem when developing a site with a flash animation inside. Let's say I'm seeing the page, I change the flash background color, save the flash animation again and refresh the page... nothing happens. I found out that is a problem of configuration of my IE. If I go to Tools > Options > Temporary Internet Files and set it up to "Every visit to the page" then it get refreshed well. The thing is that I don't want to tell every visitor to change this. Isn't there a way for PHP to send "refresh" header if the visit is beign made after the last update date stored maybe in a DB or file???

page

with a master list of database entries. They go to another page, add a new database entry and it appears on the master list. The user adds

another

database entry and upon going back to the master list, the new entry

does

not exist. It is like the database has not been updated. Refreshing

the

page does not help, I have to go and touch the file on the server or restart the browser to see the changes. What I though yesterday was the problem was occuring in both netscape

and

IE browsers. However, I have since discovered that netscape does NOT

have

this problem. Are there any session issues known to occur only with

Internet

Explorer? We are running PHP 4.2 on a unix box with apache. Any ideas? Best Regards Bob (Coffee + Laptop = KABOOM!) Irwin Server Admin & Web Programmer Planet Netcom -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
