[phpXperts] Re: difference b/w $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['V']; & $_COOKIE['V'];

Saleha,
$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS was used before PHP 4.1 and
$_COOKIE is used after PHP 4.1 and it is a superglobal variable.

Unless you are using PHP 4.1 or less i strongly encourage you to use the latest version of PHP predefined variable as the old naming conventions has been depreciated.

And if you are unsure which PHP version you should move on, then check your production server version of PHP and do a clone setup on your local. Otherwise if you want to just practice PHP in your local, i'd prefer latest stable version. You could find it here:

Thanks
Yamin
