force https

[aebstract]

What is the best way to force the url to an https prefix vs an http? I'm thinking mod rewrite but I can't figure out a way to do it correctly, what I currently use in my rewrite is:

 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([[:alnum:]_]+)/$ /index.php?page=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([[:alnum:]_]+)/([[:alnum:]]+)/$ /index.php?page=$1&var1=$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([[:alnum:]_]+)/([[:alnum:]]+)/([[:alnum:]]+)/$ /index.php?page=$1&var1=$2&var2=$3 [NC,L] 

 

This is on an apache server, perhaps there is another way of doing this or someone knows an easy way to do it with rewrite?

if ($_SERVER[HTTPS]!="on") 
{
$strURIName=getenv("REQUEST_URI");
header ("Location: https://$SERVER_NAME$strURIName");
exit;
}

Works great, thanks. I did check google btw, I searched many different topics and found a lot on mod rewrite (none of which seemed like it would even work correctly) but this helped a lot. Thanks.

No problem
