What alternative HTML tags can be used instead of "input type="image"" to prevent immediate message confirmation in PHP scripts?

When using the "input type="image"" tag in HTML forms, the form will be submitted immediately upon clicking the image button, which can lead to unintended form submissions and message confirmations in PHP scripts. To prevent this, alternative HTML tags such as "button" or "input type="submit"" can be used to create a submit button instead of an image button. 

<form method="post" action="process_form.php">
    <input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Enter your username">
    <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Enter your password">
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
