http to https from $PHP_SELF

[camerch]

I've been trying to use $PHP_SELF to get the current page and used a variety of different functions to change the http to https for a secure server. Here is the code below; if anyone could help I would appreciate it alot! THANKS!

$sercure_temp = $PHP_SELF;
$pattern = "/http/";
$replacement = "https";
$sercure_server_ssl = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $sercure_temp);

$PHP_SELF, from what i have seen of it, and now tested only returns the file name, not the host, not the protocol

eg.

if your accessing the file http://www.testserver.com/index.php

and it contains echo $PHP_SELF;

it will only return /index.php

so my advice to you is to start from scratch.

<?
$page = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; // returns to you what i just explained
$domain = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; // returns www.testserver.com
$protocol = "https"; // sets your secure protocol

$secure_server_ssl = $protocol."://".$domain.$page;
?>

hope this helps

You can also test to see if the connection was made in SSL mode...

if(getenv('HTTPS')=='on')
  $protocol = 'https://';
else
  $protocol = 'http://';
