SSL for selected controller and selected function name [CodeIgniter] - php

Question

I am here with a serious issue of my site. I am not a php developer but I know the basics. So if I make any mistake here, please try to forgive me.
My site is built with CodeIgnitor and I have SSL for some selected pages which is controlled by controller or controller name or function name.
Like - I am having SSL for these
$ssl_controllers = array('controller1','controller2','controller3');
URL structure is like this - https://mysite.com/controller1
Now, I have several functions inside each controller. Like this - inside of "controller1", I have "function_1()"
So the url for will be - https://mysite/controller1/function_1
Now I dont need SSL for "funtion_1" which is written inside of "controller1"
If I need to remove the SSL for "function_1", I need to remove whole "controller1" from the array. But I don't need that as there is other functions that require SSL.
So how I can remove SSL for "function_1"?
Is there a way to remove a function name from the array?
like this - $ssl_controllers =
$ssl_controllers = array('controller1'==>'function_1','controller2','controller3');
Please help me!!
Thanks!
As I am not using htaccess for redirection, your method is not working in my case. If I use htaccess, it gives me endless loop that cannot be completed!! This is because I am using CodeIgnitor library for redirection and specific page SSL
Here is the PHP code -
class CI_ssl{
function check_ssl()
{
$CI =& get_instance();
$class = $CI->router->fetch_class();
$ssl_controllers = array('controller1','controller2','controller3');
if(in_array($class,$ssl_controllers))
{
$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->config->config['base_url'] = str_replace('http://', 'https://', $CI->config->config['base_url']);
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] != 443)
redirect($CI->uri->uri_string());
}
else
{
$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->config->config['base_url'] = str_replace('https://', 'http://', $CI->config->config['base_url']);
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443)
redirect($CI->uri->uri_string());
}
}
This gives me SSL for specific pages and redirects other to only http://

Answer 1

Use rewrite rules in your .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} controller1/function_1
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/controller1/function_1 [R=301,L]
Note: Your base_url must be set to "/" in your config file.

Well after a research today, I finally have resolved my issue. Here is the demo -
$CI =& get_instance();
$class = $CI->router->fetch_class();
$ssl_controllers = array('controller1','controller2','controller3');
In this code, I have called the specific function this way -
$CI =& get_instance();
$class = $CI->router->fetch_class();
$ssl_controllers = array('controller1','controller2','controller3');
$my_function = $CI->router->fetch_method(); // fetch method is used for getting the specific function name
$ssl_functions = array('function_1'); // specific function name in array
Then, I just added elseif statement to my condition -
if(in_array($my_function,$ssl_functions))
{
$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->config->config['base_url'] = str_replace('https://', 'http://', $CI->config->config['base_url']);
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443)
redirect($CI->uri->uri_string());
}
elseif(in_array($class,$ssl_controllers))
{
$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->config->config['base_url'] = str_replace('http://', 'https://', $CI->config->config['base_url']);
//echo $CI->config->config['base_url']."=>".$CI->uri->uri_string()."=>".$_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'];exit;
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] != 443)
redirect($CI->uri->uri_string());
}
else
{
$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->config->config['base_url'] = str_replace('https://', 'http://', $CI->config->config['base_url']);
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443)
redirect($CI->uri->uri_string());
}
}
Thus my new url comes without SSL! like this -
http://mysite/controller1/function_1
