RE: [PHP] SSL secure pages

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Of course, one quick hack that would let a single page flip from secure to non-secure (or vice versa) would be through the use of the META HTTP-EQUIV Refresh tag.

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.
