Redirect from HTTP to HTTPS

[deepaks85]

Dear Friends,

I may take your little bit time to teach me on Credit card information encryption. I know it can be done through SSL certificate. I am very new to SSL Certificate which I need to implement in our website. The SSL certificate is already installed in our hosting web server. I have made a web form in which user will enter his/her credit card information and will be encrypted through ssl certificate in our web server.

I spoke to our web server tech support people and I was told by them that I need to redirect my page from http to https.

for your reference here is the URL:
Highlights of India & Nepal

On the navigation menu Click on 'BOOK NOW' tab. Right now we are getting all the information into our email address.

I don't have any idea about:

1. What does this mean to redirect from http to https?
2. How to do it?

Can anyone please help me in this and explain?

Thanks in advance
Deepak

HTTP is the protocol used. You will notice at the beginning of every URL there is usually 'http://'. To make use of your SSL certificate, the protocol needs to be set to 'https://'. So, bearing that in mind, if you have pages on your site that need to be encrypted, make sure to link to it using 'https://yoursite.com'.

Now I see that you want to redirect to https from http.

You can use $_SERVER['HTTPS'] and check whether it is set to 'on', if it is, then the user is already browsing with https. Otherwise, you can redirect to the same location, but using https as the prefix to the url.

<?php
 
if ( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on' )
{
    header ( "Location: https://" . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
}
 
?>

Hi Markus,

Thanks for your reply. But still I am confused.

I have two pages one is html pages where form is being created and another is php page where the php script is being written.

I don't know in which page I need to use HTTPS (while opening html page or while sending information to php page)

Please help me.

You should use it on all of your pages.
