I use .htaccess to route all of my traffic to a single index.php file. The code below to directs traffic, but for some reason it doesn't work with the back button. I don't know what to do to get the back button working. I've tried a variety of things and googled quite a bit and none of it has worked so I'm hoping someone here can help!
<?php
if(isset($_GET['parameters'])) {
if($_GET['parameters'] == "repair")
include 'repair.html';
else if($_GET['parameters'] == "training")
include 'training.html';
else if($_GET['parameters'] == "products")
include 'products.html';
else if($_GET['parameters'] == "about")
include 'about.html';
else if($_GET['parameters'] == "employees")
include 'employees.html';
else if($_GET['parameters'] == "training")
include 'training.html';
else if($_GET['parameters'] == "newaccount")
include 'newaccount.html';
else if($_GET['parameters'] == "contact")
include 'contact.html';
else if($_GET['parameters'] == "recommended")
include 'recommended.html';
else if($_GET['parameters'] == "careers")
include 'careers.html';
else
include 'home.html';
}
else
include 'home.html';
?>
So far I've tried and failed to use: window.onbeforeunload
body onunload=""
There has got to be a way to onunload=location.reload() or something! Somehow has to know the syntax!!
This question is related to
javascript
php
jquery
ajax
.htaccess
A more recent solution is using the The PerformanceNavigation interface:
if(!!window.performance && window.performance.navigation.type === 2)
{
console.log('Reloading');
window.location.reload();
}
Where the value 2 means "The page was accessed by navigating into the history".

did you try something like this? not tested...
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.ajaxAnchor').on('click', function (event){
event.preventDefault();
var url = $(this).attr('href');
$.get(url, function(data) {
$('section.center').html(data);
var shortened = url.substring(0,url.length - 5);
window.location.hash = shortened;
});
});
});
This simple solution posted here Force page refresh on back button worked ...
I've tried to force a page to be downloaded again by browser when user clicks back button, but nothing worked. I appears that modern browsers have separate cache for pages, which stores complete state of a page (including JavaScript generated DOM elements), so when users presses back button, previous page is shown instantly in state the user has left it. If you want to force browser to reload page on back button, add onunload="" to your (X)HTML body element:
<body onunload="">
This disables special cache and forces page reload when user presses back button. Think twice before you use it. Fact of needing such solution is a hint your site navigation concept is flawed.
You can use the following to refresh the page by clicking the back button:
window.addEventListener('popstate', () => {
location.reload();
}, false);
Ahem u_u
As i've stated the back button is for every one of us a pain in some place... that said...
As long as you load the page normally it makes a lot of trouble... for a standard "site" it will not change that much... however i think you can make something like this
The user access everytime to your page .php that choose what to load. You can try to work a little with cache (to not cache page) and maybe expire date.
But the long term solution will be put a code on "onload" event to fetch the data trought Ajax, this way you can (with Javascript) run the code you want, and example refresh the page.
First of all insert field in your code:
<input id="reloadValue" type="hidden" name="reloadValue" value="" />
then run jQuery:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function()
{
var d = new Date();
d = d.getTime();
if (jQuery('#reloadValue').val().length === 0)
{
jQuery('#reloadValue').val(d);
jQuery('body').show();
}
else
{
jQuery('#reloadValue').val('');
location.reload();
}
});
I found two ways to handle this. Choose the best for your case. Solutions tested on Firefox 53 and Safari 10.1
1. Detect if user is using the back/foreward button, then reload whole page
if (!!window.performance && window.performance.navigation.type === 2) {
// value 2 means "The page was accessed by navigating into the history"
console.log('Reloading');
window.location.reload(); // reload whole page
}
2. reload whole page if page is cached
window.onpageshow = function (event) {
if (event.persisted) {
window.location.reload();
}
};
The hidden input solution wasn't working for me in Safari. The solution below works, and came from here.
window.onpageshow = function(event) {
if (event.persisted) {
window.location.reload()
}
};
