Array cookies

[g105b]

Values of get methods are set to return strings. That's absolutely expected.

However, PHP implements the ability to store arrays as cookies like this:

setcookie("cookie[three]", "cookiethree");
setcookie("cookie[two]", "cookietwo");
setcookie("cookie[one]", "cookieone");

// after the page reloads, print them out
if (isset($_COOKIE['cookie'])) {
    foreach ($_COOKIE['cookie'] as $name => $value) {
        $name = htmlspecialchars($name);
        $value = htmlspecialchars($value);
        echo "$name : $value <br />\n";
    }
}

This isn't currently possible using this library, but it should be compatible, possibly utilising a getArray method.

I personally don't like the idea of cookies being set using the array syntax because it means that browsers will send each element of the array as a separate cookie which just seems like a massive waste and massive hack.
