This sounded like because the page was cached.  Maybe try using socket and 
read in that way if you are not using a proxy server.

if ($isValid) {
     $cgi = '/cgi-bin';
     if (strpos($HTTP_HOST, 'dyndns') === false) $cgi .= '/cgiwrap/ppowell';
     $fileID = 
fopen("http://$SERVER_NAME$cgi/pollinsert.cgi?pollID=$pollID&answerID=$answerID&valIdentifier=" 
. urlencode($valIdentifier) . "&lastPollResultsID=" . 
($pollResultsArray[sizeOf($pollResultsArray) - 2][attributes][ID] + 1), 'r')
      or die('Could not open CGI');
     $result = fread($fileID, 100000);
     fclose($fileID);
     if (trim(strtoupper($result)) != 'DONE') die ("Problem with TCL CGI 
writing to file: $result");
     // RE-PARSE XML CONTENTS SINCE ADDING NEW POLL ANSWER
     unset($pollResultsArray); unset($pollResultsXMLStuff);
     $fileID = fopen('/users/ppowell/web/xml/pollresults.xml', 'r') or 
die('Could not reopen file');
     $pollResultsXMLStuff = fread($fileID, 
filesize('/users/ppowell/web/xml/pollresults.xml'));
     fclose($fileID);
     $parser = xml_parser_create();
     xml_parse_into_struct($parser, $pollResultsXMLStuff, $pollResultsArray, 
$tags);
     xml_parser_free($parser);
    } else {
     // REDIRECT BACK TO POLL IF
     header("Location: 
http://$SERVER_NAME/poll/poll.php?pollID=$pollID&errorMsg=" . 
urlencode($errorMsg));
    }
    // END OF FORM PLACEMENT

   }

I am making changes to an XML file (and the only way I can, unless anyone 
knows how in PHP I can write TO an XML file!!! is to use a TCL CGI script to 
write to the XML file), once changes have been made I need to reopen the 
file and read its contents, however, every time I do I am getting OLD file 
information and NOT my changes, every single time, unless I refresh my 
page...

Does anyone know what I can do about this? I can't redirect them, that would 
be horribly inefficient.. what can I do?

Thanx
Phil
