Can I check for HTTPS in Magento PHTML files?

Question

I am installing Clicky code on a Magento website. I would like to use their HTTPS tracker only on HTTPS enabled pages of Magento. How can I do this?

I tried

<?php if($_SERVER['https'] == 'on') : ?>

but that doesn't work.

Any suggestions on identifying HTTPS pages will be of great help!

Thanks.

Answer 1

Array keys are case sensitive. You need to use

$_SERVER["HTTPS"]

Also, according to the docs, the HTTPS setting is

Set to a non-empty value if the script was queried through the HTTPS protocol.

Note: Note that when using ISAPI with IIS, the value will be off if the request was not made through the HTTPS protocol.

so a water-tight way would be checking against whether it is set at all, but not "off", e.g.

if ((!empty($_SERVER["HTTPS"])) and (strtolower($_SERVER["HTTPS"]) != "off")):

Answer 2

try

strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) == 'on'

Answer 3

Try this <?php if ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443) : ?>

Answer 4

This may seem like a bit of a "hack" but you could check the server protocol and check for the existence of the characters "HTTPS" in the protocol? :

<?php 
$protocol = $_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'];
$protocol = substr($protocol,0,5); //will return something like HTTP/ or HTTPS
if(preg_match("^HTTPS^",$protocol)){
echo "ITS HTTPS";
}
?>

Magento actually provides a method for this for you, as I wrote in a blog post (pardon the self-referential link).

Use this to check whether you are in secure mode:

// check to see if your store is in secure mode
$isSecure = Mage::app()->getStore()->isCurrentlySecure();

Hope that helps!
