And also, dont use the same expiry/modified on each load:


// Expire the image 1 year before it's being viewed, and make it modified 2
minutes ago
header("Last-Modified: " . date(DATE_RFC822, time() - 120));
header("Expires: " . date(DATE_RFC822, time() - (3600 * 24 * 365)));


It's trivial and minor, but you never know.


One final option: Use a bit of javascript onload to refresh the image on
the client side.
