Page cached? Trying to get a page with file_get_contents()...

[Symmetry]

Here's my dilemma.. I'm trying to load a page from wikipedia with file_get_contents() and it seems to be loading an older version of the page and I'm not sure how to conquer this.. so how would I do it with PHP (or HTML?) so that I get the freshest page?

 

Here's the timestamp of the page php's loading:

<!-- Saved in parser cache with key enwiki:pcache:idhash:12762141-0!1!0!default!!en!2 and timestamp 20080516003812 -->

 

and the page when I go to it in the browser:

<!-- Saved in parser cache with key enwiki:pcache:idhash:12762141-0!1!0!default!!en!2 and timestamp 20080518020756 -->

 

As you can see one is from the 16th, and the other is from the 18th.

 

Thank you for assistance.

At the top of your page.....

 

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

Thank you.. the time stamp now reads

<!-- Saved in parser cache with key enwiki:pcache:idhash:12762141-0!1!0!default!!en!2 and timestamp 20080518020756 -->

 

The current date, but it's still giving me issues as it's not the same page.. I'm confused.

 

Here's the code I'm using:

 

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

$file = file_get_contents("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Undrafted_National_Football_League_players");

echo $file;
?>

 

Maybe someone can try the code and see if it produces the same results for them, for me the last name on the page with file_get_contents() is Marques Douglas, when I goto the url via browser it's Robert Douglas (American football)  ???

Oh I see what you mean now. The code I gave you will ensure that the page you are viewing will not come from the cache.......but it won't make a difference to the linked file you are getting. Sorry, my mistake.

 

Not sure how to combat that issue you have
