I have a custom php page that processes a feed of images and makes albums out of it. However whenever i add pictures to my feed, the Drupal page doesn't change until I clear the caches.
Is there a way to tell Drupal not to cache that specific page?
Thanks, Blake
Edit: Drupal v6.15 Not exactly sure what you mean oswald, team2648.com/media is hte page. I used the php interpreter module. Here is the php code:
<?php

//////// feel free to modify or copy this software ///////////
$feedURL = 'http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/Techplex.Engineer?alt=rss&kind=album&hl=en_US';
$photoNodeNum = 4;
$galleryTitle = 'Breakaway Pictures';
$year = '2011';
?>
<?php
/////////////// DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE //////////////////
$album = $_GET['album'];
if($album != ""){
//GENERATE PICTURES
$feedURL= "http://".$album."&kind=photo&hl=en_US";
$feedURL = str_replace("entry","feed",$feedURL);
$sxml = simplexml_load_file($feedURL);

for($i = 0; $i < $pix_count; $i++) {
print '<td align="center">';

$time = substr($time,0,$time_ln);
$description = $entry->description;
$tn_beg = strpos($description, "src=");
$tn_end = strpos($description, "alt=");
$tn_length = $tn_end - $tn_beg;
$tn = substr($description, $tn_beg, $tn_length);
$tn_small = str_replace("s288","s128",$tn);
$picture_url = $tn;

$picture_url = str_replace("s288","s640",$picture_url);
print '<a rel="lightbox[group]" href="'.$picture_url.'">';

Thanks for your answer.
The site you linked gave me some new verbiage to search with, and thus I found this: http://www.drupalcoder.com/story/365-disable-drupals-page-cache-for-some-pages
which then led me to this: http://drupal.org/project/cacheexclude
which did exactly what I wanted.
