changing http to https

Hi, all -- We have lovely variables like $_SERVER['SCRIPT_URI'] so that we don't have to hard-code the site or script name into our files, and that's great; it even includes the SID for me if cookies are off. I'd like to be able to point someone to https://sitename/script.php to log in securely, but I see no way of changing the request method or port number or such. So far all I've dreamed up is to either manually build https://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}{$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']} or perhaps str_replace('http','https',$_SERVER['SCRIPT_URI']) which both seem kinda kludgey. Any better ideas? TIA & HAND :-D -- David T-G davidtg@justpickone.org http://justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
