NYCPHP Meetup

[-sry]

Hiya,

A fellow wwwacie is trying to do something that seems
to me to be perfectly straightforward, but either I'm still
far more ignorant of PHP than I thought (I've *been*
reading, nearly every day!! Geez, there's enough docs
on that site to make me go blind!!) or this just can't be
done. Below is his post / request - he's cc'd on this note
so please cc him on replies.

In an off-list continuation, he noted, that the
$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS array is just an array of
cookies, not an array of values for *a* cookie. Is he
right? :-( Really? :-(((( bahhhh....so how do we get
the other stuff besides name and value? now *I*
want to know!

-sry
