Quick PHP https to http redirect question

[BrandonG]

Hello,

I wrote(attempted) to write a script to detect if the user was coming in on 80 or 443, and if 80 it would do a header redirect to HTTPS.

I can't test it ATM, and I wanted to add this to a script.

Can someone tell me if this works, or test it for me?

if($HTTPS != 'on') {
header("Location: https://".$HTTP_HOST."/".$REQUEST_URI);
}

phpinfo()


Basically if the script works, it'll show the basic phpinfo() page but instead of being on http, it'll be on https.


Simple, but i'm a newb anyways.


Thanks for the help if you can, will +rep!

Why not use a .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.site.com/$1 [R,L]

.htaccess is a better way to go

I'll throw another vote in for using an htaccess instead, it's a much better way to go.

I agree, but the point of this was to learn how to do this in PHP.

Appreciate the help though, guys.

.htaccess may not always be the most efficient, especially if you have to enable AllowOverrides in your Apache config for it.
