PHP /browser caching issue

Post by neophyte »

Can dynamic data sent to a page in a hidden field be cached and reused by the browser? Lets say there is a hidden field with a key in it. The key stays the same while a person is logged in for a good long time. The person logs out. Logs back in. Goes to the same page. Is it possible that the browser would pull that page from cache?

that all depends on their browser settings, but yes, it's possible... not very likely, but possible.

Okay, that's what I needed to know. I didn't think it was possible. But this page in particular is very static. I think it is happening so I'll have to figure out how to change the page to get it to stop.

Thanks Feyd.
