You do not really need to do much in PHP-side. Just make sure the site is accessed through HTTPS:

Code: Select all

if (empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) || $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'off')
 {header('Location: https://yoursite.com'); exit;}
You need to get a certificate. OpenSSL can generate certificates and even sign them yourself, which is free, but will generate errors when people visit your site (such as this certificate is not trusted). If your site is public, you need a paid certificate. Try looking at http://www.instantssl.com I like it myself.

The largest provider of SSL certificates is Trustwave

You should read the FAQ, lots of helpful information.
