RE: [PHP] caching and IE 5

Hmmm, I substituted the date("F jS Y G:m A") function for a time() function and this works fine, on refresh the updated timestamp is visible. (btw system is apache 1.20 running on Hed Rat 7.1 - php 4.05) Can anyone explain why the time() function refreshes and returns the correct value but the date("F jS Y G:m A") does not?? Seems the problem might not be an IE5 caching issue at all ??

I have the no-cache code (below) before anything else in my index file. Following that an include file is pulled in that has a form with a text input field that echos the date and time. Whenever I refresh the page the time does not update to reflect the current time, it sticks with the time that was displayed when the page was first loaded. Even when I close the browser and reopen it the time remains the same. Any pointers on this issue? <?php header ("Expires: Mon, 14 Jul 1963 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past header ("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT"); // always modified header ("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1 header ("Pragma: no-cache"); ?> <input type="text" name="search_name" value="<?php echo "SEARCH ".date("F jS Y G:m A") ?>"> Thx in advance.
