Andrew,

Wow, copied and pasted in the wrong link ...no wonder it made no sense - 
WHOOPS!!
The correct link is: 
http://blog.mattmecham.com/2006/09/12/http-only-cookies-without-php-52/comment-page-1/#comment-14609

Below are the methods I WAS working with (similar to your recommendation last 
week - thank you) and expanded with the blog post above recommendations.

@setcookie( $name, $value, $expires, $path, $domain . '; HttpOnly' ); sets http 
flag but not secure (not included)
@setcookie( $name, $value, $expires, $path, $domain, TRUE ); // sets secure but 
not http (not included)
@setcookie( $name, $value, $expires, $path, $domain, TRUE . '; HttpOnly' ); // 
sets secure but not http (included)


What I've landed on in case this helps anyone else is the following:
@setcookie( $name, $value, $expires, $path, $domain . 'secure; HttpOnly' ); // 
this sets both http flag and secure

What made it work was using the word secure rather than a Boolean value and 
putting it within the quotes along with HttpOnly. 

Thanks!
Jen

I don't see the relevance of the address you cited above, but if you
are referring to the workaround that I showed you last week --

http://marc.info/?l=php-general&m=131281548332245&w=2

-- you can easily extend the technique to set both flags.


header('Set-Cookie: cookie_name=value; secure; HttpOnly');
