Cache
« on: February 18, 2024, 08:13:32 AM »
My webcam image uploads and updates fine. However, the updated imagine won't display unless I clear my cache. I have to do this everytime I load my site. I have to do it on my PC and phone.

Is this an issue with my website, my hosting service, or an internet issue?

Easy to fix..

change the line:

<img src="cam.jpg"

to

<img src="cam.jpg?t=<?php echo time(); ?>"

which should force the browser to reload a fresh copy each time the page is refreshed.
