Dear all,<br><br>I has a script where the user has to authorise themselves (eg: Username=fred Password=hi). When they are authorised, they gain access to their details.<br><br>HOWEVER, the user is allowed to update their password (eg: password changed to &quot;bye&quot;)!<br><br>This is a problem, as the user then returns to their details, & when reload informed that they are not authorised (password in cache isn't updated!) ... thus they must close the browser & relogin (a very bad thing!).<br><br>If anyone can inform me of how to update the Authorisation details ... please inform.<br><br>ALSO, if anyone knows how to remove username & password from cache, please inform (as it would allow user to logout ... without closing browser!).<br><br>Thank you all.
 
To update autorisation in the cache try by calling the page with a parameter like the hours (with seconds) (this parameter won't be used but for the browser it will be a different page every time than the pages in the cache). So in your link call your page with somethig like <br>detail.php3?hours=17:20:42
 
Dear all,<br><br>I only wish to update the users authorisation preferable without having the user to re-enter their password (it wouldn't look good, as they may come across this region of pages a dozen times in ten minutes & having to re-enter username & password would lose customers for my boss).<br><br>However, thank you for the attempt, I'll consider it as an alternative!<br><br>Yours Sincerely,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Terry F.

Dear all,<br><br>I tried what &quot;aDomf&quot; adviced, and unfortunately it didn't work. It was a nice try, but PHP appearantly stores info on the basis of the Web address domain (eg: <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> anyone knows how to (either ... or both):<br>(a) Make it based on a value (such as &quot;Admin&quot; or &quot;User&quot;).<br>(b) Remove the cache info ...<br>... or anything similar<br><br>Please leave a message for me!<br><br>
