Question

Is there a way to check if the current page was opened with SSL? For example, I want my login page (login.php) to check if it was accessed using SSL (https://mywebserver.com/login.php). If not, redirect them to the SSL version of the page.

Pretty much, I want to enfore that the user uses the page securely.

You should be able to check that $_SERVER['HTTPS'] is set, e.g.:

if (empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {
    header('Location: https://mywebserver.com/login.php');
    exit;
}
