Agrikk: Oct 17, 2003; Take care with that! We have not fully ascertained its function, and the ticking is accelerating.

I have an IIS server that I use as a text box for PHP development and I am having a problem where I'm writing PHP code and refreshing my web browser isn't reflecting the most current changes. It's making it a pain in the rear end when I'm trying to debug something and I'm seeing the cached version of the PHP file on the screen.

It's a Windows 2016 server running IIS 10 and PHP 8.1.6
I'm using both Firefox 123.0 and Chrome 121.0

I turned off caching in IIS (Output Caching - Edit Feature Setting - uncheck cache and kernel cache)
and in Chrome (Inspect - Network - Disable Cache)
and in Firefox (about:config - network. http. use-cache - false)
as well as refreshing the page using Ctrl-F5

How can I permanently turn off caching so I can speed up my debugging?
