The problem is that this HTTPS variable is not a standard variable
that has been defined.
Apache's SSL module will only set *a* value to HTTPS if in https is
being used. The value it sets just so happens to be 'on'
Windows servers (versions unkown) will set 'on' or 'off.
Other servers will use either 'on' or 'ON', with or without
corresponding 'off' or 'OFF'.
So, as just described, your best bet would be:
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) == 'on')
// https is on.
} else {
// off.
