You can treat those cookies as an array, if you have no other cookies it's a
20 element array.
If you wish to pack *more* information into a cookie (to get around the 20 cookie
limit), look into the serialize and unserialize functions. The reason for the
cookie limit is not PHP, but an intentional feature to prevent attacks on web-
browsing machines.
Imagine, if you will, that a website decided to set 2,000,000,000 cookies on
your hard drive, completely filling your disk. :-)
