Get the Extension "Extension Development Evaluator" (extdeveval). It's a 
must for any TYPO3-Developer.

After installing, refresh your frameset and you'll see some items in the 
top Nav Frame. Klick on it and it'll open a new window, where you can 
browse the API-Documentation.

Most important for frontend-plugin development is pibase, DB and div.

Sorry, I've got little time for concentrating on this, but try this:

Insert this code into your main method

$GLOBALS['TSFE']->set_no_cache();


BTW: If you want to go straight with the TYPO3-Codingguidelines, you 
should consider this in your code:

- Use single-quotes.
$content .= "<form method=\"POST\" action=\"index.php?id=5498&type=1\">\n";

-  if (x = y)) {

Have a look at

Hope that helps a bit!
