How to make your php page non Proxy cacheable

[certify]

What are the methods?

[scoutt]

not sure I understand. proxy cacheable?

[Kaizen]

I think certify means "so when a user visits the page it is always taken from the server and a cached version is not shown instead".

Am I right ?

If I am, I think these headers (in html) will do the trick;


<!-- no cache headers -->
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1">
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache">
<!-- end no cache headers -->

that is what I was thinking, but wasn't sure. the only problem with that way is that progma is Netscape only and IE will not recognise it.

header("Pragma: no-cach");

There are other HTTP headers you can use, like setting the expiredate to 0 or anyting. I just don't remember that right now. Most browsers should settle with that one.

And even more about headers:P
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php


header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
