Using Current URL
Is there an $_ENV or $_SERVER variable that holds the CURRENT URL of a site? It want to test whether the site is secure by seeing if the URL starts with http: or https:.

In the alternative, is there another way to test to see if your site is currently using SSL?

Thanks.

Hi Lee,

Yes, there is. You can check with the HTTPS variable , i.e. $_SERVER['HTTPS']

You sure? I found that when accessing a PHP variable from HTTPS, a lot of these variables are not available Unsure

$_SERVER['HTTPS'] is sometimes available and sometimes not.

You could also check what port the visitor is on by using $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']. Usually 443 is the SSL port and 80 is the regular http port.
