SSL Switcher
============

[](#ssl-switcher)

PHP class to enforce an SSL connection in a website.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Simply require the package in your `composer.json` file.

```
composer require "mistralys/ssl-switcher"

```

Quick start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

The simplest way to use the script is to use the static `autoSwitch()` method:

```
use Mistralys\SSLSwitcher;

SSLSwitcher::autoSwitch('https://domain.extension');
```

This will check if the current connection is SSL or not, and redirect to the target URL as needed. Otherwise, the script continues as usual.

NOTE: Any existing request parameters are appended to the target URL, to stay on the same page.

SSL switching conditions
------------------------

[](#ssl-switching-conditions)

The script will redirect to the https version of the website only if the following conditions are met:

1. The script is not run from the command line
2. The script is not running from localhost
3. SSL is not enabled

Using class methods
-------------------

[](#using-class-methods)

When instantiating the class, you get access to its methods - for example to run some checks in your application before doing the switch to https.

```
use Mistralys\SSLSwitcher;

$switcher = new SSLSwitcher('https://domain.extension');

// Is a switch to https required?
if($switcher->isSwitchRequired())
{
    // Do something before the redirect
}

// Redirect
$switcher->switch();
```

Utility methods
---------------

[](#utility-methods)

The class has a few utility methods that can come in handy.

- `isCLI()` - Is the script running from the command line?
- `isLocalhost()` - Is the server run as localhost / 127.0.0.1?
- `isSSLActive()` - Is SSL enabled?
- `getTargetURL()` - The URL the script would redirect to.

Disabling the exit call
-----------------------

[](#disabling-the-exit-call)

By default, the class will call `exit()` after the redirect. If your application needs to handle this instead, the exit can be turned off:

```
use Mistralys\SSLSwitcher;

$switcher = new SSLSwitcher('https://domain.extension');
$switcher->setExitEnabled(false);
$switcher->switch();

// Handle the exit in the script instead
if($switcher->isSwitchRequired())
{
    exit();
}
```
