Converting image to work as button *SOLVED*

Can anyone help me that how to convert an image to work as button.
Actually my question involve different issues.
I am making an online examination system in which in the admin area i have images instead of buttons for good look.  Lets say i have an image [b]Student[/b] Now when the student image (which will work as button) is clicked  i should be proceeded to the same page, with these different options.
Add Student
Delete Student
Edit Student
Update Student
Plz clarify me that in case of form buttons we make a hidden filed named let's say (h1) and then make its value to true and when that button is clicked, in the action of that form we provide the same file name, let's say student.php and then we have an isset() function and we check that either h1 form is submitted or other and then according to that form we write code.
So in case of images how can we handle such things.
I hope you get what i want to say  :-[
Thanx for any help in advance.

I think your question is asking how can you detect when an image is clicked as a form submit.  If that's the case, then what's actually passed by the form are the x and y co-ordinates of the point clicked relative to the top left corner of the image. For example, with this code in a form that uses the post method:

[code]<input type="submit" name="submit1" src="images/submit1.gif"/>[/code]

$_POST['submit1_x'] and $_POST['submit1_y'] will contain values when the submit1.gif image is clicked.

Yes that's exactly what i want , but i dont understand about the $_POST['submit1_x'] and $_POST['sumbit1_y'] . Will they contain information about the image X-axis and Y-axis values or something else ?
If you have worked with oscommerce, you can see that they have placed images instead of buttons . I want to create such thing.

That do not work for me, but this does: [code]<button type="submit" name="submit1" style="border: 0px"><img src="images/submit1.gif" alt="button"></button>[/code]

Here's the coding:

[code]<?
echo  "<form method=\"post\" action=\"mypage2.php\">
  <table width=\"200\" border=\"1\" align=\"center\">
    <tr>
      <td width=\"89\">Name : </td>
      <td width=\"95\">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Age : </td>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td colspan=\"2\"><div align=\"center\">
//working fine    <button type=\"submit\" name=\"submit1\" style=\"border: 0px\"><img src=\"image012.gif\" alt=\"button\"></button>
//working fine        <input type=\"image\"  src=\"image012.gif\">
//rollover not working <button type=\"submit\" name=\"submit1\" style=\"border: 0px\"><img src=\"image012.gif\" alt=\"button\" onmouseover=\"this.src='image012.gif'\" onmouseout=\"this.src='image002.gif'\" ></button>
      </div></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>";

?>[/code]

The advantage of
<input type='image' src='image012.gif' name='student'>

is that (as has pointed out several times now) it post values in $_POST['student_x'].

You can use this to find out which of your buttons was clicked.

[code]
if (isset($_POST['student_x'])) {
    // student button was clicked
}
elseif (isset($_POST['other_x'])) {
    // other button was clicked
}[/code]

With Daniels code, the image tag contents are posted.
