Re: [PHP] Switching from HTTPS to HTTP using PHP?
Thanks Ed, As you mentioned in your last lines, I'll have to specify the http protocol for the ordinary pages -- I hadn't done that yet. I assumed it would default to http; but, if I had thought about it, that wouldn't make sense. Unless told otherwise, https would not "know" that another protocol was requested. That should fix things, thanks for the explanation.

RE: [PHP] Switching from HTTPS to HTTP using PHP?
I'm pretty sure it's just an issue of using HTTPS for encrypted pages and HTTP for unencrypted. For example: http://www.example.com is unencrypted and pulls from port 80 on the web server. Whereas, https://www.example.com would be encrypted and come from port 443 on the web server. You can tell whether you're in encrypted mode or not by checking the variable: $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "on" One thing to check, anchors with no protocol specified default to the current protocol. If you're in an encrypted page and have a link like this: Home Page The protocol will default to https and this may be the source of the problem you're experiencing. -Ed - Hi Ed, Maybe it's just one of those slow days, brain-wise. But I have a 'problem' with https remaining in that mode even on pages that haven't specifically requested it. That was not my understanding how it worked. Now, if I have to call "http" on pages that do not need https, then how would I be able to distinguish whether or not the mode is https or not.

Hi Ed, Maybe it's just one of those slow days, brain-wise. But I have a 'problem' with https remaining in that mode even on pages that haven't specifically requested it.

RE: [PHP] Switching from HTTPS to HTTP using PHP?
Isn't it just an issue of whether you call http: or https: ? -Original Message- From: Andre Dubuc [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 10, 2002 11:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Switching from HTTPS to HTTP using PHP? After completing most of the coding for my site, I would like to use "https" for restricted areas that require login. In short tests, I've discovered that, yes, I can engage the encrypted mode while calling these pages, but I've also discovered that it stays in the "https" mode even when it passes to once non-restricted pages. I'm not sure whether that is a problem, but . . . I gather this is "normal" behavior since I had requested "https". But is it possible to "unrequest" ? My question is simple: is there a way to "get out of" or "turn off" https once it has been initiated -- using PHP? Since I have limited or no experience with https, any pointers, advice, or admonitions would be greatly appreciated. And they say, "Ignorance is bliss" -- I'm not too sure about that :> Tia, Andre -- Please pray the Holy Rosary to end the holocaust of abortion. Remember in your prayers the Holy Souls in Purgatory.
