Hi,
I'm new to cahce control, so I hope my question makes sense.
let's assume a small php file
like
<html><body>
<?php
$max=10;
for($i=0;$i<$ma x;$i++){
print("$i<br>\n ");
}
?>
</body></html>
Obviously the output of this file is predictably constant as it would be
for any html file.
I assume, that apache would allow a foreign browser to detect, that
a html file (creation date or expire) does not have to be reloaded
except it has been updated on the server.
On the other hand I assume, that php will set the expire attributes for
php files per default such, that the request will not be cachable, as
php is normally being used for dynamic web pages.
However my above php file will always create the same output independent
of when and how it will be called.
So what exact header would I have to pass to indicate to make the
browser understand, that the php file does not have to be refetched,
except the php file (its creation date) changed.
Thanks in advance for any support.
If my request is not clear, then I'll reexplain differently.

Hi,
Your question is clear.
However, apache is maybe not the easiest place to start caching
PHP-documents.
I think you should tell the browser to cache it.
But caching can be very confusing, and results may differ from one setup to
the next (depending on browser, version, proxies, OS, preferences in the
browser, etc etc.).
So be sure you try the solution on a few different setups.
But read up here, it contains a lot of headers and some explanations on how
to use them: http://nl2.php.net/header
Also, I wonder why you use PHP instead of plain HTML, if you do not want to
change the content.
Good luck and regards,

The caching tutorial[1] by Mark Nottingham is well worth a read, but I
strongly suggest that you read RFC 2616, especially section 13, for more
detailed information. You will also want to read about the various
headers that can be involved in caching: Cache-Control (14.9), ETag
(14.19), Expires (14.21), conditional requests (14.24-6,8), and
Last-Modified (14.29).

You could send the Last-Modified header with a value reflecting the last
modified time of the PHP file:
header('Last-Modified: '
. gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', getlastmod())
. ' GMT');

Hi Erwin,
Thanks,
I look at this info.
The reason I'd like to use php is similiar to my example (a for loop
prints out multiple lines of html.
In my real example the php code is much shorter than the created html
and it will be easier to maintain.

Hi Mike,
I'll dig into your details, but on a first glance your threeliner is
exactly what I imagined as solution.

I use the following code:
header('Last-Modified: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', filemtime($_SER VER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) . ' GMT');
header('Expires : ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', time() + 86400) . ' GMT');
Set time() + 86400 to different values if you want different expiration dates.

Hi there,
I have a database with documents that have event dates included. What I need
to do is have the Expires META tag to be one day after that event date.
Can I get the date from the appropriate field in the database and format it
into GMT to add into the header() function?
Cheers

I am using the following to delete the contents of a cookie
Response.Cookies("maincookie").expires = DateAdd("d",-2,now)
Response.redirect "login.asp"
If i try to alert the value of the cookie in the same page, it shows
the old value. As well as when it is alerted from the login.asp it
shows the old value.
The problem is when i try to update the value of the cookie in the
login page, it does not update the new value.

Suppose you got a really long page and you'd like to enable
the user (supposedly, there's only one but if it's not to
difficult we could extend that to any number) not to have
to scroll to the last position in the document he/she was
viewing but simply auto-jump him/her to it. Is that doable
at all using JS?
I guess it would be somewhere in the vicinity of:
- remember every scroll
- save the line number to the users HDD
