I was wondering if the _COOKIE global is unqiue to each visitor or is
it global across all visitor sessions?  If it is truly global on the
server side, is it possible that a cookie from one user's session may
corrupt another user's session?  How would I know which cookie goes
with which user session/browser?


$_COOKIE is unique to the user's browser session. The cookie is stored on the user's system.
