Besides the comments of Alvaro on cacheing, you can see some additional
comments at http://php.net/imagecreatefrompng.
Another technique some people use (which I don't recommend for
production, but may be OK for testing) is to append a dummy query
string to the end of the main page with a random component: "?rubbish="
+ randomNumber(). This ensures that the page is not cached.
