Re: After INSERT form submit - Data doesn't refresh!

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

 



Quoting "Rahul S. Johari" <sleepwalker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:


Here's what it is:

I have a php page, "a.php", which contains these three things:

 - SELECT statement to display records from a mySQL Table
 - HTML Form for inserting data into the mySQL Table
 - INSERT statement to insert that row into the mySQL Table

If the flow of you program really works in this order. Then i can understand you are looking at the same records after a INSERT. The SELECT query is run before the INSERT. So if you submit your INSERT form. The page first selects a record set from the database. And after that preforms the INSERT.


The HTML Form submits to the same, "a.php"
Once the user submits the Form, a.php is called which INSERT's the row
into the mySQL Table. However, the row does not appear in the SELECT
statement table data unless I hit refresh on the page. (The INSERT
function is executed before the SELECT in the page).

I used the header() code that was suggested:

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');
$ffile = 'a.php';
$time = filemtime($ffile);
header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', $time).' GMT');

.. but it didn't help.

Everything is working fine except that the Browser is more then likely
caching the data and thus not allowing the newly inserted row to
appear on top when the SELECT is executed.

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!
