Question

I’m new to web programming. I’ve created a simple login form (with php). Now I want to turn this one into a HTTPS (with SSL) login form. What should I do to achieve this?

Answer 1

You will need to enable SSL, if it is not already enabled
If you are going to run this in production, you will also need to purchase and
install an SSL cert instead of a self-signed cert.

If SSL is enabled, then running your form with https instead of http as the comment above says will work

To force users to use the SSL version add something like the following to your .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On
Rewritebase /

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^login\.php https://yourdomain.com/login.php [L,R=301]
