I'm creating a site that wiill be submitting post data but I want to
verify how that the site sending the data is using SSL(https). Is
there any way of validating that in PHP?


TIA

Don't have the URL under non-ssl

Actually I meant accepting for submitting. The site I have right now
is using https(SSL) and I need the submitting sites to be using SSL as
well. How do I verify this?

Re: Referer site is https or not

I did, the $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] isn't very reliable from my
readings on the Internet. Is there any other way how?

If I am understanding you correctly...

It doesn't matter; i.e. your concerns are moot.

Example: A person clicking on a "submit" button on a form located on a
non-SSL website.

If the "action=" of that form points to an SSL-enabled site, then all of
the form data is transmitted encrypted.

So it doesn't matter if the form itself is or is not an SSL site. Only
that the destination of the form data is.



Does this describe your situation?
