Hi rodeoval

I've done a little bit of digging on this topic myself recently. I'm no expert mind, but as far as I can tell https refers to the fact that you are using SSL on yor site to secure data transmission. This requires a SSL certificate from someone like VeriSign, GeoTrust, Comodo, or similar.

The certificate is loaded into the root of your website (I thikn someone correct me if I'm wrong) and then the ability to use https is availale to you. I believe you have to set a link or association between the certificate and the pages on your site you want to secure.

That's all I know about but a certificate provider would provide you with support for implementation.

PS if anyone knows better and I''m talking a load of old tosh please correct me.

I recently set up SSL on my website. I had the hosting company do it though, so I didn't have to actually set up the SSL. They installed the SSL in the root of the site, and you then have the ability to use https:// rather than http:// thru out the site, where ever you want to encrypt the data transfers.

Heya, rodeoval.

Are you trying to set up an SSL server?

Or do you need to create an HTTP stream context to access a file on a secure server?

I m doing a web system related to marks.Since they need security I was asked to use https.Since I am a newbie I have no idea of doing it.So cn u please tell me what are the steps I should follow?
In the php.ini file php_openssl.dll is commented.And also in the sub folder openssl which is inside the php folder (in the WAMP folder), there is a speeddial file called openssl(I don't have any idea what that is).So can u please tell me what Iare the steps I should follofw???

note sure whether this is what you are after, but [PHP]<?php
if($_SERVER["HTTPS"] != "on") {
$newpage = "https://" . $_SERVER["SERVER_NAM E"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_UR I"];
header("Locatio n: $newpage");
exit();}
?>[/PHP] assuming ssl is already running on your server, you can force ssl on a page with the following code:
