session_get_cookie_params values

In an attempt to understand why the use of cookies for my session id seems to get lost on the 5th of many pages I tried out the function. For those of you wondering, yes the pages work fine using everything in the URL but thats not a good thing for this application... Anyways in the returning array I get the following in my error log (where I've designated it to print): [Mon Oct 30 12:04:53 2000] [error] login_redirect.php printing session vars [Mon Oct 30 12:04:53 2000] [error] Your session id is: TICS=048c283459484090ad0e172b3a953508 [Mon Oct 30 12:04:53 2000] [error] cookie val lifetime is set to 0 [Mon Oct 30 12:04:53 2000] [error] cookie val path is set to / [Mon Oct 30 12:04:53 2000] [error] cookie val domain is set to [Mon Oct 30 12:04:53 2000] [error] cookie val secure is set to [Mon Oct 30 12:04:53 2000] [error] The question, what is the cookie value 'secure' and what is it used for? It isn't mentioned on the manual reference page online. Any ideas?
