I am running PHP on a Xitami web server locally to develop my code. IE (I'm using 5.5) has a habit of caching the pages and won't show the latest saved page, no matter how many times I reload the page. I have to manually clear the Internet cache to get it to show the correct page. This does not happen in Netscape 4.7.

Any ideas as to why?

2 things you can do first most developers I know set IE to get a new page everytime they view a page TOOLS>>INTERNET OPTIONS>> Genral Tab select the "Advanced" button.

Second you can try putting an Expire meta tag in the head of your pages. Which may force IE to get a new page.

Put this at the top of your document:

<?
header ("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
header ("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT"); // always modified
header ("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header ("Pragma: no-cache"); // HTTP/1.0
?>

Really, that sounds great, I didn't know about that one. I just love these neat keyboard shortcuts when I find a new one! Windows button + D is great for minimizing windows, and bringing them back again.
