You've tagged this PHP and JavaScript. Which language are you using? Neither of them have a built in function called
getCookie. – Quentin Commented Feb 7, 2011 at 9:58

Reset to default 4var cookies = document.cookie.split(/;/);
for (var i = 0, len = cookies.length; i < len; i++) {
var cookie = cookies[i].split(/=/);
alert("key: " + cookie[0] + ", value: " + cookie[1]);
}
You can use the getCookie from my answer to Javascript getCookie functions and split it into a getCookies and getCookie function where the getCookies function simply returns cookies instead of cookies[name]. And for the getCookie function just take the return value of getCookies and use [name] on it.
Update Ok, I simply added the functions according to the description above. :)
Please read about reading/writing cookies in JavaScript.

You are probably looking for a solution like this: Get all cookies with Javascript
The following function loads all the cookie items into an associative array with the cookie name as the index and the cookie value as the value:
function get_cookies_array() {
var cookies = { };
if (document.cookie && document.cookie != '') {
var split = document.cookie.split(';');
for (var i = 0; i < split.length; i++) {
var name_value = split[i].split("=");
name_value[0] = name_value[0].replace(/^ /, '');
cookies[decodeURIComponent(name_value[0])] = decodeURIComponent(name_value[1]);
}
}
return cookies;
}
After that, you can get the cookies and write them out into the document like this:
var cookies = get_cookies_array();
for(var name in cookies) {
document.write( name + " : " + cookies[name] + "<br />" );
}
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getCookie(c_name)
{
var i,x,y,ARRcookies=document.cookie.split(";");
for (i=0;i<ARRcookies.length;i++)
{
x=ARRcookies[i].substr(0,ARRcookies[i].indexOf("="));
y=ARRcookies[i].substr(ARRcookies[i].indexOf("=")+1);
x=x.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");
if (x==c_name)
{
return unescape(y);
}
}
}
function setCookie(c_name,value,exdays)
{
var exdate=new Date();
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays);
var c_value=escape(value) + ((exdays==null) ? "" : "; expires="+exdate.toUTCString());
document.cookie=c_name + "=" + c_value;
}
function checkCookie()
{
var username=getCookie("username");
if (username!=null && username!="")
{
alert("Wele again " + username);
}
else
{
username=prompt("Please enter your name:","");
if (username!=null && username!="")
{
setCookie("username",username,365);
}
}
}

<body onload="checkCookie()">
