Hi

I need to set up a system which uses Flash in an e-learning system, but the Flash-generated .txt file which translates the results from one page to another is always cached on the users hd, ignoring any later generated .txt files (if the user goes back and trys the quiz again, for example). Oh, script. the .txt is generated dynamically by a .cgi

Now, a user of Flash has said that PHP can stop this caching of the .txt document, but I'm not sure how to implement the file. I have the following:

<?php
header('Cache-control: no-cache');
$fp=fopen("LoadVar.txt", "r";
fpassthru($fp);
?>

Is it enough to invoke this file (uploaded to the cgi-bin) from my Flash movie to stop the caching, or is there another way to set it up?

As you can see, the title was appropriate. I can make Flash do anything, but I'm new to scripting, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Use the built in No-Cache behavior built into PHAkT. You will find it in the Plus menu in the Server Behavior Floater.
