Hi:
The differentiation between secured and normal http transfers is generally in
how you set up the link:
http://foo.org/ is regular
https://foo.org/ is secure
You don't change types of transmission on the fly depending upon the results
of your script. What you CAN do is have the script for the present page
determine what kind of transmission you want the NEXT page to be. If you
want the next page view to be secured, you have the present HTML page present
"https://" links. If you want the next page to be normal,
you present links
as "http://."
Please note, in order for a form to be submitted securely, the form itself
needs to be generated by and submitted to an "https://" URL.
You can NOT
have the form generated normally and then submit it to an "https://,
since
that is NOT secure.
This was a quick, simplistic, overview from someone who's not an expert in
this topic, but it shoudl do the job for you.
Enjoy,
--Dan
