RE: [PHP] Secure vs httpOnly cookie flag: is one better?

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!

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'); Andrew
