Nothing. But you do need to manage what files show up in which
directories. Me, I just put them all into a shop directory or whatnot
and check what protocol is required for access. Then I only need to
manage one directory when updating the code.

 Why would I also want to check if "that a page is accessed only via a
 secure connection?"

Because you're restricting based on access, not based on directory
structure.


Ahhh, I see (I think).

I've been using the actual directories for my scripts, when I don't really need to do that. I could do it automagically with code. That would certainly make my work organization a bit easier.

So, let's say I wanted script "secure.php" to be forced to use https -- do I use something like what Dan provided, namely?

<?
    if($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] != '443') {
        $url = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] :
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
        header("Location:
https://".$url.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?".$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
        exit;
    }
?>

I know I could test the code for myself, but this is quicker.

Thanks,

tedd
