Re: PHP script continues to return data from table that phpmyadmin says is empty

[Barry Galbraith]

Are you sure that phpmyadmin and your php script are reading the same MySQL server?

Browsers also have a habit of caching pages. To make sure the browser actually runs the script you need to add a rand=(random value) to the query string. With a different random value each time the browser will run the script to get the (different) page rather than giving the cached version.

e.g. 1st time to get the page.
my.website.com/phpscript.php?rand=1234

second time
my.website.com/phpscript.php?rand=1345

Your script doesn't have to parse the rand value, it's just so that the browser will see it as a new request.

Good luck,
Barry.
