Does PHPs fopen function implement some kind of cache?

Question

I\'m struggling with the automated data collection of a PHP script from a webserver. The files in question contain meteo data and are updated every 10 minutes. Weirdly enoug

Since you're getting the file via HTTP, I'm assuming that PHP will be honouring any cache headers the server is responding with.

A very simple and dirty way to avoid that is to append some random get parameter to each request.
