First of all, this isn't a PHP question - <img statements are html, whether
they're included in PHP or not. Now - if you were talking about include(),
require_once(), etc., you 'd be talking php.

The easiest way I've found is to just use absolute URL's for the images - i.e.

<img src="/images...">

Works everyplace on the site and you don't need to include extra files.
