How could I disable caching, for specific php files?

I am currently working on a WordPress powered ecommerce website, where the chosen shopping platform is WooCommerce.

Is there a way, without using a Plugin, which will allow me to prevent browsers from Caching certain php files? In this instance, the 'header.php' and 'cart.php' files? My assumption would be, that some tinkering to the '.htacess' file would be required but then I could be wrong.

Solution

  • I found out the issue. I completely overlooked/forgot, I had the below Caching Code in the .htaccess file. School Boy error!

    Once I removed the below code, the Basket Caching Problem was resolved. 

    ## EXPIRES CACHING ##
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/pdf "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType text/x-javascript "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresDefault "access plus 2 days"
</IfModule>
## EXPIRES CACHING ##

    Should I discover a way to cache a website, without the Basket being Cached, I will add it to this answer.
