Why does my php page download images over and over

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

Can anybody please explain to me why my php page keeps downloading the images and other items every single time the page is loaded or refreshed. I would have thought that the images get cached and re-used without having to download the images etc, all the time, over and over!

This happens everytime the page needs to load or refresh, is there something wrong with my code layout that is causing this or is it my html header that is the problem or is it something else all together?

This is eating through my bandwidth and will do the same for potential users of my site, not a very good first impression entering my site.

If somebody can help me solve this, I will be so greatful! Here is my test page code:

Code: (text) <?php
/**
* ForgotPass.php
*/
include("include/session.php");
?>
