Run Script Only if HTTPS://

[signature16]

How can I make a script run only if the url starts with HTTPS://.

 

This would be to prevent people from processing credit card data in an insecure environment.

I'm not entirely sure about this since I haven't done much with secure connections, but I believe when a user goes through a PHP document with a secure connection, a server variable $_SERVER['HTTPS'] exists (I also forget what information the variable contains but for this situation that isn't important). You can do something like this:

 

if ( ! $_SERVER['HTTPS'] )
{
    header( 'Location: https://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
    exit;
}

Yes it does sound like PHP has this available to be used

 

Here is the manual
