Script that shows the problem. I'm not sure this is a cookie parsing problem or a lack of documentation one.

<?
   $a = strtr("http://puzzle.dhis.org/", ".", ".");
   setcookie($a, 'copyleft.gif');
?>
<html>
<head><title><? echo "$a - $Teste" ?></title></head>
<body>
<?
 echo "Referer = $HTTP_REFERER $a";
 echo '<br> Cookie =';
 echo ${$a};
 echo " or ";
 echo $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$a];
 echo '<p>';

 for (reset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS); $key = key($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS); next($HTTP_COOKIE
        echo "HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$key] = ".$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$key]."\n";
 }                   
?>
</body>
</html>

This is as design. "." is not a valid part of variable name.

Note added to docs in 'Variables from outside PHP'. This is
the intended behaviour.
