Hi everyone,

I've got my SSL and non-SSL pages in one directory on our webserver (for ease). I want to use relative links (rather than absolute links) but am not sure how to force the browser to use the SSL certificate and make it https:// without using absolute links.

The site is written in PHP and the code would be as follows;

Header ("Location: index.php");
^ How can i specify that to go to the relative page using SSL?

Also, when a link is SSL encrypted e.g. https://www.this.com/login.php how can I force a relative link to a non-SSL encrypted page?

Thanks in advance guys!

PHP Code:

header("Location: https://www.site.com/index.php"); // just put the secure link in. 


Then to force them to always use SSL on your websie use

PHP Code:

<?php
    if( $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 80) {
        header('Location:https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'/'.basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));
        die();
    }
?>

Hi Rogem002.

Thanks for your reply but that's not quite what I had in mind.

I would like to be able to use relative links (e.g. index.php) instead of absolute links (e.g. http://www.site.com/index.php) to transfer from a secure page https:// to a non-secure page http:// and vice versa. So if my page was;

https://www.site.com/admin/logout.php

I want to be able to go to the index.php of the site e.g. http://www.site.com/index.php using a relative link.

Fine, then make the site.com/index.php include this text.

PHP Code:

<?php
// Credits to rogem002 from a few posts above.
    if( $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443) {
        header('Location: http://'. $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
    }
?>

Apologies, that was a blonde moment indeed. Thank you both for the help
