How Do I implement the SSL on my website...

  1. Have your host turn on SSL support.
Done.

hmm and that's it?

say the path to my login page is: http://www.abc.com/login

is it going to automatically redirect to https://www.abc.com/login?

or I should specify https?

You have to specify which pages you want to be run under SSL.

Code: Select all

if ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on') {
   header('Location: https://domain.com/login.php');
   exit();
}

//rest of login script goes here
