Execute php with back button

[zek2005]

Hi!!!!

I need that when the user goes back to the last page with the "Back"
button of the browser, the page executes the php code again.

Is there any code to insert in php that implies a reload every time the
page appears in the user browser??

Best regards!!!

Simply disable caching:

<?php

header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past

session_start();
if (!session_register("var")) {
session_register("var");
$_SESSION["var"] = 1;
} else {
$_SESSION["var"]++;
}

echo $_SESSION["var"];

?>

This will output 1 on first load,
Go to some other site, then hit back, and it will output 2 :)

You could also try:

<form action="<?php print $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; ?>" method="get">
<input type="submit" value="back">
</form>

Of course if the page was the result of a post than the method would have to
be changed accordingly.

I've seen a number of different suggestions on disabling caching over the
years, with variations that worked some places but not in others.

Is this now the "canonical" recommended method of disabling caching of a
web page? Does this really catch all the major browsers and proxies,
including AOL's rather aggressive "accelerator"?

Well, I'm not sure, as I haven't tested it on all browsers, but it
should work fine since it is a http1.1 standard ;)
