Put user's cookies in a separate array in the $_COOKIE variable

setcookie('user['.$bm[$i]['bm_pid'].']', $bm[$i]['bm_title'], ...);

Put admin's cookies in their own array entry

setcookie('admi n[admin]', $admin, time()+7200);

Hello all,
I am using two separate setcookies to create and maintain cookies for every
day users and one for admins.

When a casual user hits a page I use this:
setcookie($bm[$i]['bm_pid'],$bm[$i]['bm_title'],time()+3153600 0,"/",".mydoma
in.com");
and an admin logs in it uses this:
setcookie("admi n","$admin",tim e()+7200);

The above created 2 different cookies, one for Cookie:user@myd omain.com/ and
one for Cookie:user@www .mydomain.com/

This way, later on I can call this to retrieve and show them what the have
"recently viewed":

foreach ($_COOKIE as $cookievalue) {
echo $cookievalue;
echo "<br>";
}

The problem is, it also reads in the stuff in the admin cookie. How can I
make it so that ONLY the casual users cookie information is read in ? I was
trying to avoid using sessions, and writing stuff to my db, etc.
I just wanted a quick and dirty way to have it remember certain pages that
were visited and show them (similar to amazon.com).

Many thanks.
