Well, this is only one specific image that constantly changes, the rest of
the page is handled regularly.
From what you've said if I go with this
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
That will effect only the one specific image I use this on when generating
it right?

Is this header you're refering to the header of the page which contains
the
image, or the image itself?
- Dan
The image itself.
Also note, that if you use my solution 2, you still might get
problems, as the page that is calling might be cached, and in the
cached page, it refers to the image with the same unique code, and it
will use the cached image again.
Also, if you use solution 2, the image will still stay forever in the
temp folder of the browser(unless the user is cleaning it). If you use
solution 1, the browser will keep it only for this page, and will
remove it afterwards.
