Question

I have a script to upload an image and display it. When i choose an image and click upload, it doesn’t update the current image, but if i press f5 it will change the current image… thank you very much in advance. im just new in php.

<br><br><a href=\"javascript:location.reload(true);\"><input type='submit' name=save value=save onClick='alert(\"Profile Updated!\")'></a><input type='hidden' name='id' value=$id>";

your browser is probably reusing the cached image, the best way to fix this is to add a unique tag at the end of the image url e.g.

in php i would generally have some kind of helper to do this e.g(very basic):

**

function image_tag($url,$attrs){
   $id = abs((int)(microtime(true)*1000)) ); //bit overkill
   return '<img src="'.$url.'?'.$id.'" '.$attrs.' />';
}

echo image_tag('some_url.jpeg',' class="my_image_class" ');

**

if you are updating the image with javascript try do something like the following:

**$('#some_img').attr('src',some_url+'?'+(+new Date()));**

should do the trick
