Problem retreiving cookie - please heeeelp me !!

[ghostwalkz]

 

I have cookie set by one of the 3rd part components of my site. Its name is ´usercookie[username]´.

 

I am writing a new php page and need to determine which user is logged in from this cookie. I am using the following code which works with other cookies:

 

<?php

$currentuser = $_COOKIE["usercookie[username]"];

?>

 

But it returns nothing, any ideas, is it something to do with the square brackets that are within the cookie name?

 

Thanks in advance.
