title: How to get a list of browser cookies using PHP?
body: <p>From my understanding <code>$_COOKIE</code> gives me all the cookies in a user's browser.</p>
  
  <p>But when I do </p>
  
  <pre><code>var_dump($_COOKIE);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Array
      (
          [wp-settings-1] =&gt; m8=o&amp;m2=o&amp;m5=o&amp;m4=o&amp;m3=o&amp;m1=o&amp;m7=o&amp;m0=o
          [wp-settings-time-1] =&gt; 1329859655
          [PHPSESSID] =&gt; ST88bLB7PE5S9BbY5oXxLgDIcas
      )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This list does not match the list I see in the browser. For example, PHPSESSID is not in the list of cookies in my browser. Am I accessing the wrong variable?  </p>
  
  <p>Thanks. </p>
