Unfortunately I don't have a choice. I have to be able to handle IE. And IE is caching the page. I can see it in my Temporary Internet Files folder. And the Expiration Date is 3 hours after the file is created. If I delete the file, a new one is created and the Expiration Date is 3 hours after the new file is created.

I forgot to mention in my question that only IE appears to cache. And with the way my PHP program goes, I'm constantly changing the URL as I go through the application to modify data and status message. But whenever I return the the edit page, the old data is showing up.
    
Ah! "old data" as in "This is what you typed into the form last time you were here, so this is what you must want in the form this time, no matter what is in the HTML for the default value, because we are Microsoft, and our users are stupid and this is what they want"? You're pretty much dealing with a browser behaviour, I think, and people dumb enough to use IE actually expect it to work that way, and trying to fix it is probably a mistake.
