I've been doing some experimenting with php and html, and I'd like to know if it's possible for the browser to send a separate request for multiple images that have the same file name. For example, if I had
<img src="showimg.php?id=1234">
written out 3 different times, is it possible for the browser to send the request 3 different times, thus getting a different image each time? It seems so far that the browser recognizes that the file name is the same and then just serves up the image from the cache. I came to this conclusion by using a session variable that increments every time showimg.php is accessed. If the id is different then the counter gets incremented 3 times. But if all three id's are the same then the counter only gets incremented once no matter how many times I request the image. Since I am no authority on browsers, I was hoping someone could provide a concrete answer.
EDIT: My question is: How can I force the browser to load a different image using the same id. I know it can be done with unique ids. I'm just wondering if this is possible.
Thank you to those who have responded so far, though.
