testing php scripts

[mab1]

I am sure this is a stupid question but when I update a php script and test in the browser it loads the old version never the updated. I have to change the file name or exit the browser. Can anyone tell me how to simply "browse" the new php version.
Many thanks

Hey there. Trying doing a full-refresh, i.e., refresh your page without loading the browser's cache. This is typically done via CTRL+F5 (Windows). However, you'll need to verify it for your OS/browser.

As above poster said, you could also send some headers to prevent cache with PHP. Or:

if( !isset( $_GET["screw_cache"] ) || ( $_GET["screw_cache"] != time( ) ) )
{
    header( "Location: index.php?screw_cache=" . time( ) );
    exit;
}
 

Code is untested.
