I had this note last week regarding this IE5 problem .. It does not solve the
issue but does point
out that ie5 does have different behaviour with caching .. I would love to find
a solution to this problem at it
renders session mgmt via phplib unuasable .

Ash,

     There's more on caching cross-browser diffs than you can shake a stick at
in the archives of this list.

     But here's something that may help if part of your concern is just getting
over the hump of "Do I have my platform installed and working?"

     First, try doing a 'Ctrl-F5' to force a 'hard' reload of the page you are
looking at in Internet Explorer. You can F5 reload all day and watch the
same session number in the example pages. Hold down the Control key while
doing F5 and you should see the numbers increment just like you expect/hope.
(Sorry if this doesn't work for you in your situation. It does for me.)

     A second somewhat related thing has to do with the Win binaries being run
as CGI and not as a module (I run Apache on one of our intranet machines to
be as close as I can to our hosts' boxes.) Seems there is a also a
compile-time switch that is apparently never set the right way when folks
make the CGI-style windows binaries and you get a funky value for $PHP_SELF
which throws curves into having a 'transparent' intranet platform for
internal development. (The resulting generated URLs on our intranet
development platform usually work, but they can be a bit fragile if you are
computing paths and directory-related stuff within your scripts.)

     Again, there is lots of info about these and related issues in the
archives. (Plus there are folks that know boatloads more about this than I
do.)

     Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: [phplib] DemoPhpLib and IE5

I am using phplib 7.2b and am also experiencing the same caching problem with
IE5, again with no problem in Netscape 4.7 or 6. I have set $allowcache = "no",
and this still does not fix the problem.
This is causing my site to have rather unpredictable behaviour under IE5,
sometimes pages which should not be available are cached, and sometimes users
get prompted to login when they are already authorised (presumably because the
login page has been cached instead of the actual page...).
Can somebody suggest a way of solving this problem, which seems only to affect
IE5?

Thanks in advance
