note 41637 deleted from function.setcookie by nlopess

Note Submitter: chris g ---- I just found this in a hard way: Do not add space(s) inside the brackets [ ] when setting up an array cookie or you will have a problem retrieving the value. // good setcookie( "cookie_name[$id]", $cookie_value ); // bad setcookie( "cookie_name[ $id ]", $cookie_value ); When you use foreach ($_COOKIE['cookie_name'] as $name => $value) { echo "$name : $value <br />\n"; } to get the value, both good and bad methods will return the value with no problem. But when you use $value = $cookie_name[ $id ]; only the good method (with no space) works. Weird eh?
