I've tried the >following header tags: You can force a refresh of the same page by using a header redirect: header('Location: '.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); Also, if the problem is images being cached, I've seen some people use this trick: <img src="/path/to/image.jpg?uniq=<?=urlencode(md5(microtime()))?>"> Basically you pass a bogus URL parameter after the image name that is different each time and this should force IE to download it again. I haven't had a chance to try this myself, but I believe it should work...
