Question

I have a web application developed by php. I can access the application by making use of the url like http://www.example.com . Now I need whenever, user types example.com in the url it will show https://www.example.com instead of http://www.example.com .
Is it possible or I have to take care about https from beginning itself during code development?
Please help me how to do this.

Thanks in advance.
