Technically no, but...
My question is because my site is hosted in a shared environment, my non secure and secure sections of my site are on different domains. Specifically my non secure section is at
http://www.domain.tld while my secure is at
https://hosting-provider.domain.tld.
I set my cookie in the non secure section, but need it to be valid in the secure section as well...any ideas?
Thanks

Technically what you are wanting the cookie to be valid across mutliple hostnames on the same domain
This is certainly possible
From
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...elper.html
Code:
$cookie = array(
'name' => 'The Cookie Name',
'value' => 'The Value',
'expire' => '86500',
'domain' => '.some-domain.com',
'path' => '/',
'prefix' => 'myprefix_',
);
set_cookie($cookie);
so if you set the domain parameter to '.domain.tld' it should work in both www and hosting-provider

There are known issues with sessions/cookies across HTTP and HTTPS. I'm not sure if/how CI manages this and I couldn't even find a decent PHP snippet for you, but there is a
thread here that may be of help.

Actually my example was incorrect. Sorry about that. I didn't realize that I used the same domain for both.
Consider the same issue with domain.tld vs hosting-provider.provider.tld

You could probably do the following but it is a MAJOR security risk
Code:
$cookie = array(
'name' => 'The Cookie Name',
'value' => 'The Value',
'expire' => '86500',
'domain' => '.tld',
'path' => '/',
'prefix' => 'myprefix_',
);
set_cookie($cookie);
This would be the same as saying that the cookie is valid for all .com domains. As you can imagine not a good idea.
You probably need to create 2 cookies in this case 1 for each domain.
