Re: Re: HTTPS w/ header() ?

I have done something like this. For the site I am working on, the user must log on. At the logon screen I check if(getenv("HTTPS")!="on") { header ("Location: https://logon_screen"); } every page has an include that checks $HTTPS as part of the sessions and validation. If https!="on" then it kicks you back to the logon screen. you could do the same using if(getenv("HTTPS")!="on") { header ("Location: https://$SERVER_NAME/$PHP_SELF"); } I think Don't know if that's what you're after, but it's what I've done and I have a high index of suspicion that it is working...
