Does IE6 limit somehow/somewhere the number of cookie variables I can
create and store?  The following code snippet successfully creates 24
cookie variables when run in FireFox, but in IE6 it is limited to 20.  I
can provide the full code with HTML/Javascript if anyone wants to test for
themselves.

<?php

// populates a hidden form variable on the second submit
$somevar = "anything";

if (!IsSet($_POST['monitors']) || empty($_POST['monitors'])) {
    $_POST['monitors'] = array();

/*********** Manage Monitor CheckBoxes via $_POST & $_Cookie *************/

                        $checked[$key] = 'CHECKED';
                  }

                        $checked[$key] = "";

elseif  ($_POST['trakVisit'] == "anything") {
      for ($i=1; $i <= 24; $i++) {
            if (in_array($i, $_POST['monitors'])) {
                  setcookie("cookieMeter[$i]", 'CHECKED', time()
+60*60*24*12, '/', ".mydomain.com", 1);
                  $checked[$i] = 'CHECKED';
            }
            elseif(!in_array($i, $_POST['monitors'])) {
                  $checked[$i] = '';
                  setcookie("cookieMeter[$i]", 'CHECKED', time()-3600, '/',
".mydomain.com", 1);
            }
      }
}

echo "<pre>";
print_r($_COOKIE);
echo "</pre>";

?>

Why do you need more than one single cookie? If you want to store 
multiple pieces of information, serialize the data or something similar.
