Cookie, using a dynamic value

[w32]

So I have a cookie set, and I named it with a dynamic value. And I do not know how to retrieve its value.

so lets say I have a varialble, like $val1    how can I retrieve the cookie? $_COOKIE['$val1']; ??
Can you please tell he how can it be done, if it can?

Thanks.

Did you get an error or something? I personally use sessions on my site and that's the same syntax that works for me.

the result I was trying to echo didn't show up, when it was like this:
<?php
echo $_COOKIE['val1'];
?>

however this worked:
<?php
echo $_COOKIE[val1];
?>

thanks btw :)
