I need my webpage to clear tempoary internet file

[thejobdone]

I need my webpage to clear tempoary internet files when a user visits my web page so that the images in my webpage www.fcestates.co.uk/index.php? actually shows the images all the time for propertys in the MySQL database website above. Does anyone know if i can do this with some special html code that tells the browser to delete the temporay internet files folder contents. Or is there a php code, or does ajax allow you to embed code into your webpage/script. If there is some code can someone paste in thier reply with ins6ructions on where to paste it say in the header or body? Surley the solution cant be just to tell the user to delete the temporary internet files ?

UUUUUUUmmmmmmmmmm

when you link an image
<img src="blah.jpg">
do this
<img src="blah.jpg?rnd=(make php or whatever toss a random number here)">

example
<img src="blah.jpg?rnd=123213">



this will stop it from being pulled from cache

OK IamClint

The issue is that i have a php script and when i look at the property_view page in the script, it has an image place holder for the property image and it is called {PICTURE}

and i have below part of the property_view.php script relating to the {PICTURE}
comment, example
<img src="blah.jpg?rnd=123213">



this will stop it from being pulled from cache

below is part of the code is this what i should be editing or is it somewhere else?

if($dbu->f('picture'))
{
$ft->assign(array(
"S_MAIN_IMAGE" => '',
"E_MAIN_IMAGE" => ''
));
$ft->assign("PICTURE", $site_url.UPLOAD_PATH.$dbu->f('picture'));
}
else
{
$ft->assign(array(
"S_MAIN_IMAGE" => '',
"E_MAIN_IMAGE" => ''
));
$ft->assign("PICTURE", $site_url.'img/na_big.gif');

}

$i=0;
if($dbu->f('thumb'))
{
$i++;
$ft->assign('TUBNAIL', $site_url.UPLOAD_PATH.$dbu->f('thumb'));
$ft->assign('IMAGE',$site_url.UPLOAD_PATH.$dbu->f('picture'));
$ft->assign('THUMBNAIL_WIDTH',THUMBNAIL_WIDTH);

$ft->parse('IMG_OUT','.image_row');
}



$dbu->query("select * from image where property_id='".$glob['property_id']."' order by image_id");
while($dbu->move_next())
{
$i++;
$ft->assign('TUBNAIL', $site_url.UPLOAD_PATH.$dbu->f('thumb'));
$ft->assign('IMAGE',$site_url.UPLOAD_PATH.$dbu->f('picture'));
$ft->assign('THUMBNAIL_WIDTH',THUMBNAIL_WIDTH);

$ft->parse('IMG_OUT','.image_row');
}

if($i > 1)
{
$ft->parse('IMAGES_OUT','.images');
$ft->clear_dynamic('IMAGES_OUT','image_row');
}

}


CAN YOU TELL ME HOW OR what to add this img src extension ?

Sorry if i seem to be daft , its because i am a newbi.

[drhowarddrfine]

You cannot clear temporary internet files but you can control the caching of your page. Caching Tutorial.

[thejobdone]

OK Buddy,

It looks like you understood how to help me , so i will study this and get back to you soon.

thejobdone

[thejobdone]

OK I am back, and after reading the cache tutorial I have to say that my head is hurting me big time.

Is there just some code i can paste into my webpage, and save me from this Abyss. Please look at my website www.fcestates.co.uk and see for yourself, and if possible give me the best code to put in my webpage , including which pages to put it on , like should i put this on the http://www.fcestates.co.uk/index.php?pag=property_view&property_id=17 , page , or just on the home.html page .....which is the homepage .


Any ideas ?

thejobdone

[thejobdone]

I am using Apache 2.0’s servers configuration , just to add



thejobdone

[thejobdone]

And also my pages, show the image 1st time you visit but if you ignore the site for 3 minutes then non of the images come up until you clear your cache so i probably want the pages to expire after minutes not days.

[ronnil]

this is your location of the image file right?

$site_url.UPLOAD_PATH.$dbu->f('picture')

to this you add what iamclint said, making it look like

$site_url.UPLOAD_PATH.$dbu->f('picture') .'?' . rand()

this way your image will always recache

I cannot see the exact same path above on the property_view page. Are you saying that i should put this extension manually on all the images in the upload folder should i be looking in the phpMyadmin. Do please look at the code of each page. Yes i do have an upload folder on the publice_html directory.

And tell me what to add where , if i see i can get it

[thejobdone]

I have the page

http://www.fcestates.co.uk/index.php?pag=property_view&property_id=15

And on there i have a image place holder that says in property inspector of dreamweaver 8, that in source it is {PICTURE} and the thumbnail says {TUBNAIL} so are you saying i add the ? mark bit to this bit or can you tell me which page of the site and rufly what area of the pages code i shoyuld be ammending and to where, as in paste the code into your reply and [paste the url of where that code is in the website

Or should i be adding this comment to phpMyadmin. I think your directing me to edit the webpage but please send my the webpage url and the corrected code and where that code is on the page. . This is a php script.

I think i really have proved i am slow

[thejobdone]

OK i found the reference to the .'?' . rand() and it is in the property_view.php page,
i have the code in the php page

for references to the path you specifed below, can you edit them and reply with exactely how they should end with the new code, beacause i am not sure where the brackets should end.

$ft->assign("PICTURE", $site_url.UPLOAD_PATH.$dbu->f('picture'));

$ft->assign("PICTURE", $site_url.'img/na_big.gif');

$ft->assign('TUBNAIL', $site_url.UPLOAD_PATH.$dbu->f('thumb'));

$ft->assign('IMAGE',$site_url.UPLOAD_PATH.$dbu->f('picture'));

Please ammend above list with new code cos i dont know if i am to put it between brackets at end or not.

do i paste the .'?' . rand()


at the end of last bracket or betweenm the last 2 brackets ; to install this command correctly, can someone copy and paste the ammened code cos i am not sure to put it where, before the last bracket and close; statment ?

THIS IS FOR iam_clint

In a thread from you you said that

Re: I need my webpage to clear tempoary internet file


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


when you link an image
<img src="blah.jpg">
do this
<img src="blah.jpg?rnd=(make php or whatever toss a random number here)">

example
<img src="blah.jpg?rnd=123213">



this will stop it from being pulled from cache

and THEN ANOTHER BLOGGER SAID THIS ....


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this is your location of the image file right?

And to be honest with you i am baffled with this, I have the part of the code for the php code page property_view.php and i am not sure how to implement this
on the below script, can you amend it with the corrected code and send it back to me, I have also attached below code in text file.

PLEASE COULD YOU amend ATTACHED SHORT CODE AND SEND IT BACK TO ME, I TRIED IT MY WAY BUT I AM SURE I AM DOING IT WRONG , COS THE IMAGES STILL DON'T LOAD, SO IF YOU COULD amend IT THEN SEND IT BACK TO ME I WOULD DEARLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

i PROMISE NOT TO MAIL YOU AGAIN, SO DONT WORRY I AM NOT A SPAM MAN, I HATE THE STUFF, HAHA, THERE ARE 6 REFERENCES TO THE IMAGES DIRECTORY

As i think i stated in the reply, you need to add '?somerandomnumber' to the end of your file path. this can be done with the string concatenator '.' and the function rand().

you first start by placing the '?' sign after your original url (everything before the question mark is treated as an url), afterwards you add the random number.

If I'm reading the code correctly this is the url string of an image

$site_url.UPLOAD_PATH.$dbu->f('picture')

whilst this another

$site_url.UPLOAD_PATH.$dbu->f('thumb')

what you then do is add the question mark and the result of the rand function so the snippets look like this:

$site_url.UPLOAD_PATH.$dbu->f('picture').'?'.rand()
$site_url.UPLOAD_PATH.$dbu->f('thumb').'?'.rand()

say for instance $site_url.UPLOAD_PATH.$dbu->f('picture') equals
$site_url = http://www.example.com;
UPLOAD_PATH = '/uploaddir/'
$dbu->f('picture') = 'image.jpg

your url will then look like this:
http://www.example.com/uploaddir/image.jpg

when you add '?'.rand() to $site_url.UPLOAD_PATH.$dbu->f('picture')
it will then produce something like:

http://www.example.com/uploaddir/image.jpg?23456

Hope you're getting the hang of it now
