[SOLVED] ssl forcing

[Ninjakreborn]

In php is there a way to force if they are at

https://www.domainname.com and if not then redirect them to the https version??

Thanks.

<?php

  if($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == '80') {
  header("Location: https://mydomain.com");
  }

?>

ah perfect, thanks.

Not working it sits there 5 minutes and comes up with page notfound.

I need when someone goes to the page it needs to take them to https so it's on a secure connection, anymore advice?

nevermind, got it thanks.

<?php
if($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTPS"] != "on")  { 
   $newurl = "https://" . $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; 
   header("location: $newurl");    
} 
?>

Just put this code at the top of every page that you need to force ssl.

I also attempted to turn it into a function but haven't tested/debugged it yet.

<?php
// function forces https connection (simply put the function at the
// top of whatever pages need to have forced SSL (assuming SSL is active on the site).
function forcesecure() {
if($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTPS"] != "on") { 
	$newurl = "https://" . $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; 
	header("location: $newurl");    
} 
}
?>
