If page invoked with https 1

[joeschoe]

My server is set up that any php file can be invoked using http or https.
I want to ensure that for some pages only https is acceptable.
Is there a variable in PHP that will give me the full URL including the protocol. I can then do a test and redirection.

The various elements of $_SERVER will have what you're looking for.

TANSTAAFL!! sleipnir you put me on the right track.
My testing may be of use to future programmers looking for the same indicator:
I wrote a little php routine to list all the members of $_SERVER. Nothing useful showed up except the server port (which was 80) as I had invoked the program using http.
When I tested the same routine using https, the port changed to 443, so I have an indicator. THEN I noticed that there was a new element called HTTPS (it did not show up in the first test not having been set) with a value of "on".
This is a much more direct test and it works well.

Obviously, you already have what you need, but I believe $_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'], will also give you what you're looking for.

Itshim,
Your suggestion rendered

SERVER_PROTOCOL => HTTP/1.

using https:// and http://

Sorry I didn't have a server to test it on, I was just paging through the manual and thought it would work.

Thanks,
