[BNM] Setting cookie name using a variable (PHP)

[Rus Hughes]

totally correct, i would have thought this would have worked:

setcookie($itemName, $like, $inTwoMonths);

what value is $itemName?

from the Netscape spec:

/NAME/=/VALUE/
    This string is a sequence of characters excluding semi-colon, comma
    and white space. If there is a need to place such data in the name
    or value, some encoding method such as URL style %XX encoding is
    recommended, though no encoding is defined or required.
