It's a shortcoming of the HTML spec. It's annoying, but that's life. I won't bother explaining how it works, since four people just did. It's also quite a FAQ, so it should probably be added to the PHP FAQ if it isn't there already. In any case, it doesn't really sound like an image submit button is the best solution here. If you're not using the form for much beyond the image submit button, I'd simply use anchors. <a href="viewfullimage.php?imageID=<?= $id ?>"> <img src="<?= $name ?>" border="0"></a> would do just fine.
