Is it possible to stop an image from being cached?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a situation where there is a single image let's call it somebody.jpg. I want to be able to dynamicly create this image using php, basicilly I have PHP set to handle .jpg files also, so I then go through and create an image based upon some info I get from a database call and then use
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
passthru($file);
to send the image to the user.

My problem is once they view the image their browser "helpfully" caches it so they don't have to download it again.

Is there any tactic short of changing the name constantly of the image to avoid browser caching of an image?
