Redirect Question

I have a domain and the main webpage is not located at the root so I have it set to redirect. right now when someone goes to www.mywebpage.com it redirects to www.mywebpage.com/myrealwebpage/

This works fine but my site is also SSL and when someone goes to https://www.mywebpage.com it redirects back to the non SSL. Is there a way to detect if they are requesting SSL or not so if will redirect accordingly.. Thanks.

RE: Redirect Question

How is your virtual setup for the 443 port? Does it point to the same directory as you unsecure root web?

RE: Redirect Question

You can use $_SERVER['HTTPS'] to see if it's secure or not. Here's the code I usually use for redirecting. $transfer is the URL to redirect to.

php Code:

Original - php Code
if(strtolower(substr($transfer, 0, 4))!='http') { $base = ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on' ? "https://" : "http://"); $base .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; if(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) != '/') $base .= dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); $transfer = $base.'/'.$transfer; } header("Location: $transfer");

 
if(strtolower(substr($transfer, 0, 4))!='http')
{
   $base = ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on' ? "https://" : "http://");
   $base .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
   if(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) != '/') $base .= dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
   $transfer = $base.'/'.$transfer;
}
header("Location: $transfer");
