detecting some URI information.... 1

[theEclipse]

I am setting up a site where a part of it will be secure (order processing). The entire site uses a session-based user managment system, and I am finding out now that we can run into a problem when loading the SSL cert. if the site is not at the

http://www version

of the site (eg.

http://www.somesite.com

vs somesite.com).

I figure no problem...I'll just check for and redirect to the

http://www if

it doesnt exist in my template file. Problem is, I cant seem to find a PHP $_SERVER var or simmilar that allows me to detect the address that the user typed in the address bar.

Right now I am implementing a Javascript soloution, but I would like to stay away from things like that (as the user could potentially turn it off). Is there a PHP way to check this?

Have you tried $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']?

Or how about $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']?

sleipnir -

nice...thanks. Just now I got to thinking and I should have done

print_r($_SERVER)
