getting value of cookie

[juschillinnow]

This might be a stupid question. I've looked in the manual, and also searched, but I must be overlooking something obvious...

I set a cookie like so:

setcookie ("something[0]", $something, time()+300);
setcookie ("something[1]", $other, time()+300);

how can I grab the value of that first cookie.

For example, if I wanted to check the value that is set in "something[0]" against something else, how would I do that.

or if I just wanted to echo the value.

$cookie = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["something[0]"];

echo $cookie.

I know this isn't right, how would I set that up?

uhhh, that is right

well, that's what I thought, but it keeps giving me an error. I'm thinking it's something to do with the [] inside the []

1. Try: $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['something'][0];

2. Or: Don't use [] in the cookie name at all.
