Avoid image caching after file upload
Hi,
I have multiple upload form on the same page to allow the user to upload images. On postback I process the image uploaded and display it as a thumbnail just beside the correspondant upload form. The problem is that the image displayed is not the new one but the old one (probably get from cache).
If I upload a new picture that doesnt exists on the system, I see it immediatly.
Same thing if a delete one of the picture, it disappeared immediatly.
The problem came when I overwrite an existent picture.
I tried bunch of things like :
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="Wed, 26 Feb 1997 08:21:57 GMT">
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
or in php :
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
// HTTP/1.1
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
// HTTP/1.0
header("Pragma: no-cache");
Please see the attach files, one is the html result, the other the php code to understand the logic of my page.
Thanks a lot!

Ok but what if I dont want to destroy my session. In need some info that are stored in $_SESSION.
I tried session_regenerate_id() just in case.. without success
Any other idea ?

you didn't say you had an active PHP session -- had you said so, it would have saved a lot of time.

You will find generally that a cache clear, clears the sessions too, but there are ways around this.

PHP Code:
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION = array();
session_destroy();
?>
Try that at the very top of the PHP page, see what happens. You are trying to force the browser to get the new image from the server EVERY time.
