Hi everyone,
I've recently started using the piece of code below to define my base url:
Code:
$config['base_url'] = (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS']=='on') ? 'https://' : 'http://' ;
$config['base_url'] .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$config['base_url'] .= preg_replace('@/+$@','',dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])).'/';My question is: where is $_SERVER['HTTPS'] defined?

as the name suggests all $_SERVER variables are provided by the webserver

The whole $_SERVER global-array is defined by PHP itself.
The HTTPS is defined and contains on if the page is accessed by https protocol (e.g. https://www.domain.com/ will set it on, http://www.domain.com/ won't).
You can read more about $_SERVER global-array in php.net web site.
