Re: Weird caching problem with PHP4/Apache

These lines will do what you asked, but I am unsure if they will resolve your problem (since I don't know Fatcow and how they configured the server). Anyway, here it is: header ('Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 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'); // HTTP/1.0 PS: Got it from the manual, header(); function :-) Check the online comments if any problems happen, since there are many various flavors of servers and clients... -- Julio Nobrega A hora está chegando: http://toca.sourceforge.net "René fournier" <rene@smartslitters.com> wrote in message news:NEBBIIMGILDAEGKEIGOPEENJCNAA.rene@smartslitters.com... > Having successfully uploaded my PHP4+MySQL site finally to Fatcow (and the > MySQL stuff IS there--thanks for the help), I'm now left with making it > actually work online.
