Just a quick question - and call me lazy if you will... I was just wondering if cookies set by javascript can be understood by php and visa versa... I know I could write a script to test this and bla bla bla, but I was just wondering if anybody had a yes or no answer,

One of the greatest XSS vectors... JavaScript reading cookies.

Yea, unfortunately. There are workarounds, so perhaps the adequacy of this "feature" should be reconsidered.

It is often difficult to change one particular cookie from the set of cookies in Javascript which is easier with server side languages.
