finding protocol

    I need to find out whether the address someone used to reach a page on my site was using the http or https. I want to disable http access and only allow access to users that use https. Is this possible using php? I tried using $_SEREVER['https'], but the results aren't good enough - it doesn't always work.

    Any idea?

    Could you use "parse_url" function ?

    Unfortunately no, because the parse_url function requires that I first find the entire current url and pass it to it. Finding the entire url including the 'http' part is exactly what I'm having a problem with.

    This is definitely possible using .htaccess - at least I would think it is.

    For instance, you can send anyone trying to get to your site using the "http://" to a page displaying "You need to use https:// to reach the content on this website" or something similar.

    And then https:// to go to wherever.

    Unfortunately, I'm not good enough with .htaccess to provide any working code examples.
