Browser, PHP, update/currency question

(moderation:
One of our team members monitors all of our E@H output so we stay producing as best as possible.
When he calls up this page:
...hosts_users.php?userid=51967,
he often notices that all of the "last contact" column dates/times show a day or two in the past (which is not correct). But while talking to him on the phone, I call up the same page that shows the "last contact" as being current and correct. I have him "refresh" the page and it does no good. His data will show "old" for two or three days before it will change and then grow stale again.
This issue only happens to our monitor guy and he only notices the stale data when he calls up user id 51967. All other team user pages look fine to him.
I'm guessing it's some kind of PHP or browser problem. Any thoughts on how to get him a current PHP page when his browser requests it?
Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

What's his browser?

Holding SHIFT while hitting the refresh key forces a new refresh, if his browser is caching.

Well, we are headed in the right direction. I thought it might be a browser issue. He uses IE (as do I).
So we tried SHIFT and the refresh button and there was no improvement. Then I had him hold down CTRL and hit the refresh button. BINGO!
So, two new questions that really relate to IE:
1. What is CNTRL-refresh? and why did it work?
2. Where do I find a control for whether or how much he's caching of pages?
Under Tools>Internet Options>TIF Settings Button> both of our browsers are set for "Automatically" under the "Check for newer versions of stored pages:" He had a TIF (temp internet file) buffer of 4000MB while I run 1000MB. I had him shrink his to 1200MB. Maybe that will cause the pages to not need the CNTRL-refresh "boost" :-) .
