Hmm, interesting.
In my case, $file does indeed output dynamic data.
I did try with the modified time but it still doesn't work. I still
have to hit refresh on the browser, after submitting the form, in
order for the inserted record to appear.
Not sure what to do - it's rather annoying. Novice users of the page
would assume the entry didn't get inserted or something happened. One
alternate is to submit Data to a different page and let that page
redirect to the Original page - but I do find it hard to believe that
there is no solution to this caching.
Thanks guys!

The Last-Modified header tells the browser when the requested page
was last modified. Now I don't know how you get the date in your
case but here is an example:
browser requests /test/test.php which is a simple php file without
any includes etc.
in this case
$file = '/test/test.php';
This wont work if $file outputs dynamic data, so only use it if the
content only changes when you change the file.
Now if you are using templates etc. obtaining the Last-Modified time
is a bit more complicated. If you use server side caching then you
can chose the cached file else you have to figure it out yourself.
And the RFC 2616 header specification says:
An origin server MUST NOT send a Last-Modified date which is later
than the server's time of message origination. In such cases, where
the resource's last modification would indicate some time in the
future, the server MUST replace that date with the message
origination date.
So do not send a future date!

I tried with just the first three header() statements you gave, but
it didn't work.
Let me try the modification date ... which file is being referred to
in $ffile?
Also, I'm using Firefox, if it's of any consequence.
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure this is a cache issue ..
To disable caching:
header('Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-
revalidate');
header('Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT'); // Date in the past
header('Pragma: no-cache');
But if you have the modification date then use
$time = filemtime($ffile);
header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', $time).' GMT');

Ave,
I'm wondering if there's a PHP solution to this, I could be in the
wrong place.
I have an INSERT form which submits to the same php page, which
also displays the records from the mySQL database the INSERT form
submits to. When the form submits and the page returns, the added
record does not show up unless you "Refresh" the page.
I'm imagining even after form submit, the Browser is caching the
data and displaying data from the Cache.
Is there a solution to this? Is there anything PHP can do to
instruct the browser not the cache the data?
Thanks!
