Are you able to modify/create a .htaccess file? If so try besthostratings.com/articles/force-ssl-htaccess.html — chris85

You can create an .htaccess file by transferring a file to your server and renaming it; executing touch filename on the server; or by executing a number of commands in PHP to generate/create a file (file_put_contents, fwrite, etc.) — chris85

If you want to require only SSL connections (i.e. you don't want any users connecting via HTTP), you can always opt for HSTS headers. They aren't supported by a few older browsers or Internet Explorer currently, but the next version of IE is said to adopt it - so that's one way to add the redirect =] — newfurniturey

How about like this:

Have a function that will check the protocol of the website:

function is_https() {
    if (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) and $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 1) {
        return TRUE;
    } elseif (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) and $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on') {
        return TRUE;
    } else {
        return FALSE;
    }
}

Then if not, you do the redirect.

if (! is_https()) {
    header("location: https://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}");
}

Is there a reason not to do this via .htaccess?

Better you can use .htaccess with the below code. Instead of putting manual php code in each page you can control one file the whole website.

# Switch rewrite engine on
RewriteEngine on
# Redirect non-www to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
# Do index.php to root redirect
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.html$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

This is good idea. thumbs up. But i think the if he's using PHP framework, PHP approach to his problem doesn't need to call the script on every page. It can be called globally once on every request.

This is a bad idea for SEO purposes, this cause loop redirect in most cases
