HTTPS

[Anon]

Off topic i know - but i've got a full shop finished in PHP but at the moment it makes use of standard HTTP calls on a standard, non-secure, sever.

I am wondering how difficult it would be to operate it on a secure (HTTPS) server. Would I have to hack out a lot of my code or will it all be transparent?

In most cases, HTTP is s daemon running on another server & socket. In general, requests made to the secure server start with "https://" rather than "http://".

Pretty much, you just have to make sure that your scripts are called through "https://" links instead of "http://" links. Also, you will have to make sure that there are NO "http://" links within the page (including images) that you want secured. Having any "http://" links in the page will cause the user's connection to be unsecured.

Also make sure you set secure (last argument must be "1") in your cookies, like so:

setcookie("secureCookie",$value,time()+3600,"/directory/",".domain.com",1);
