Config setting

We will configure prefix in config.php file on “application/config” directory. if you want to keep custom prefix different name then you can. This item allows you to set the filename/classname prefix when extending.

$config['subclass_prefix'] = 'MY_';

1	$config['subclass_prefix'] = 'MY_';

So, we will create MY_Output.php file on “application/core” directory. after then paste the below code in this file.

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class MY_Output extends CI_Output {

    function nocache() 
    {
      $this->output->set_header("HTTP/1.0 200 OK");
      $this->output->set_header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
      $this->output->set_header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', $last_update).' GMT');
      $this->output->set_header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
      $this->output->set_header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0");
      $this->output->set_header("Pragma: no-cache");
    }	
}
?>

<?php

defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class MY_Output extends CI_Output {

function nocache()

{

$this->output->set_header("HTTP/1.0 200 OK");

$this->output->set_header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");

$this->output->set_header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', $last_update).' GMT');

$this->output->set_header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");

$this->output->set_header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0");

$this->output->set_header("Pragma: no-cache");

}

Now, we will paste below code in the constructor function for first-time call the controller. because when call that method then it’s every time disable browser cache.

$this->output->nocache();

1	$this->output->nocache();
