Drupal 6.x Custom Clear all Cache Link / Page

Create a page, set the body input filter to PHP and paste the following code in the body. Add a menu link to your navigation or admin menu for easy access to clear the cache.

<?php
// only allow site administrators to visit this page:
if (!user_access('administer site configuration')) {
  drupal_not_found();
}
else {
  drupal_clear_css_cache();
  $tables = array(
    'cache',
    'cache_content',
    'cache_filter',
    'cache_menu',
    'cache_page',
    'cache_views',
  );
  foreach ($tables as $table) {
    cache_clear_all('*', $table, TRUE);
  }
  drupal_set_message('Cache cleared.');
  drupal_goto();
}
?>

#1 Thanks, this works well - how about hook_page?

Or if you are foobar, then you can use hook_page temporarily to force a cache clear safely using Drupal functions:

<?php
    function MYTHEME_page() {
    drupal_clear_css_cache();
    $tables = array(
        'cache',
        'cache_content',
        'cache_filter',
        'cache_menu',
        'cache_page',
        'cache_views',
    );
    foreach ($tables as $table) {
        cache_clear_all('*', $table, TRUE);
    }
}
?>

Remove the function after revisiting your drupal instance.
