I think the ?gim part doesn't get processed by php. You just get the src attribute.

In the first example you get no value because php sees gim='home1' as a new attribute. In html it's not wrong to add attributes that aren't part of the specifications. It's not a technique that is to be encouraged but browsers just look over those attributes.
