First of all, this falls into the category of webmastering, not php.

If you have a website that has a forum and image gallery of horses and
hounds, then http is okay. If your site is an online bank, ecommerce or
something other that handles confidential client information, then
switch to https. It's all about security.
It all starts by getting a certificate and configuring the web server to
handle it. In php you don't do anything to enable https, the server
takes care of that. In php you can just test wether it's http or https,
that's all.
