Answer 1

Try

<input type="button" onclick="window.location = 'User_list.php?id=$row[1]&sec=$row[5]&subj=$row[6]&type=viewrec2&Year=$row[12]&faci=$row[9]'" class="myButton" />

You can use CSS to style your button's background image accordingly

Answer 2

To add an image to a HTML form button, try this:

<button name="somebutton" type="button" value="somevalue" onclick="alert('Hello World!');">
  <img src="someimage.gif" alt="someimage">
</button>

Answer 3

Try this:

echo "<form action=\"User_list.php?id=$row[1]&sec=$row[5]&subj=$row[6]&type=viewrec2&Year=$row[12]&faci=$row[9]\">";
echo "  <button type=\"submit\" value=\"LIST\">";
echo "    <img src=\"image.gif\" alt=\"LIST\"/>";
echo "  </button>";
echo "</form>";

(Thanks to @guerda for his answer on how to include the image.)

You'll have to escape the '&' characters, but I don't know how you do it in PHP.

Note that this can have a side effect if you have other forms in the same page.
