reading the full URL [resolved]

How can PHP read whether the URL startes with "http://" or "https://"?

I did a search and found this:
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...ighlight=https
which said I should try this:

PHP Code:

---

echo $_SERVER['HTTPS']; 


---

But I get this error:

Quote:

---

Notice: Undefined index: HTTPS in c:\mina dokument\icefire security\test.php on line 2

---

I've never heard of $_SERVER['HTTPS'], and it's not in my manual. It gives you that notice because that variable is not defined.

Give this a try:

Code:

---

$_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'];

---

I'm not sure how to test it to see what it returns when you access it with https, but it might be what you're looking for.

I just found this in the comments of the manual:

I find that to tell whether a script is running under http:// or https:// I need to check and see if $_SERVER['HTTPS'] is set. FreeBSD 4.8, Apache.

---

So maybe it is something. Try:

Code:

---

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {
    echo 'I was accessed via HTTPS.';
} else {
    echo 'I was accessed via HTTP.';
}

OK. This works perfectly:

PHP Code:

---

<?
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {
    echo 'I was accessed via HTTPS.';
} else {
    echo 'I was accessed via HTTP.';
}
?>

Thank you so much.

Since I'm not uber PHP coder I think i'll stick to SERVER for now.
