Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/prasathmani/tinyfilemanager/issues/351

when saving settings, the old configuration is shown again after pressing the button. Page refresh is needed to show the new settings.

Hi,
Same issue here

OS:
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="9"
VERSION="9 (stretch)"

PHP:
PHP 7.4.6 (cli) (built: May 14 2020 10:02:31) ( NTS )

Go to Settings, change language, click on save, page is reloading but without any change. Same with any option.

There is no error in Apache logs. Access logs :

Hi, I have the same problem. My OS is Debian 10 with php-7.3 provided by the distro. I can make effects to the setting I choose when I click only one setting to change and make the saving operation several times (+/- 3 times works for me). You've make a great job, guys, thanks for that.

@prasathmani May I recommend changing the color for the active button state to green?

It's absolutely not possible to see at a glance if the button is active or disabled which is not so good for usability;-)
Thanks to my friend @alaasalama for catching this. Opened an issue for this: https://github.com/prasathmani/tinyfilemanager/issues/446

As a note to anyone else who might stumble onto this issue, you can't change any settings in the web interface if you define the $CONFIG array in config.php

So if you set a default language or some of the other options you can no longer modify them without modifying config.php

These seem to be the defaults if you don't define the array:

$CONFIG = '{"lang":"en","error_reporting":false,"show_hidden":true,"hide_Cols":false,"calc_folder":true}';

@someone42 commented on GitHub (Jul 15, 2022):

I have also encountered this issue, I am using Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) with php-7.3. After some experimentation, I believe that on some systems, Zend OPcache doesn't realise that tinyfilemanager.php has been modified and when the settings page is immediately reloaded after pressing the Save button, PHP will use the old cached version of tinyfilemanager.php with the old settings.

Here are some workarounds:

Disable Zend OPcache. This has a negative impact on performance.
Introduce a few seconds delay in reloading the settings page whenever the Save button is pressed. I can submit a PR for this if people are interested.
