Images have their own connection (which is why you can see a page before an
image is downloaded, and why pages resize if width & height are not set on
the image). Cookie values via images are not "passed to parent", though
judicious use of javascript _may_ be able to retrieve the value - I've not
seen it done, but it _might_ be possible, though I doubt it.
It's not a "PHP" thing, it's an HTML protocol thing ...
