First of all, as others have said, use $_COOKIE instead.
Second, $_COOKIE is an array, so you can use the array functions to
find the cookie.
And since you're looking for the cookie *name*, array_search() and
array_keys() would be useful in this case. Like this:
$cookiename = array_search("firstname",array_keys($_COOKIE));
If the search turns up empty, then $cookiename = false, otherwise,
$cookiename will contain the name of the cookie. The value for the
cookie is then easily retrieved by $_COOKIE[$cookiename].
