Https

Hope someone can guide me on this, much appreciated. And apologise for naming conventions I may use, as I am one of those who sadly works alone :)

I have an application form that when accessed from anywhere within the website the code below always makes sure that when the application page loads it is always under HTTPS
to go to an SSL secured page.

<?php
if ($_SERVER['HTTPS']!= 'on') {
// Redirect user to secure page
header("Location: https://www.domainname.co.uk/application.php");
exit;
}
?>

I want to be able if I click a link on the application page that it defers back to HTTP

I would suspect someone knows the answer to this.

Many thanks

You can use php sleep

<?php
sleep(10);//time to delay or defer the link before it loads..
header("Location:http://www.domainname.co.uk/linkpointed.php");
exit;
?>

Here is the reference to the sleep command in php function.sleep.php

this is the code I use to turn https on and off with an extra check to see if I am working on my local development server

Turn HTTPS off

<?php
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != 'site.local') // insert local hostname here
	{
	if (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) == 'on')
		{
		header("Location: http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
		}
	}
?>

Turn HTTPS on

<?php
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != 'site.local') // insert local hostname here
	{
	if (!isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) != 'on')
		{
		header("Location: https://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
		}
	}
?>

Hope that helps
