The simple answer to avoid caching on the client browsers is to configure the Cache-Control HTTP response header.

However, I don't have a PHP snippet with me to show you how to do it exactly. It should as simple getting the HTTP response object, and setting a header "Cache-Control" with value "no-store, must-revalidate"

Answer 2

Disable caching of your page with the following code :

http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

<?php
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Expires: Sat, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
?>

Answer 3

Try these:

<?php
header("Expires: Fri, 01 Jan 2010 05:00:00 GMT");
header( 'Last-Modified: ' . gmdate( 'D, d M Y H:i:s' ) . ' GMT' );
header( 'Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate' );
header( 'Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0', false );
header( 'Pragma: no-cache' ); 
?>
