I still don't understand what you want to search for in your views, and why you don't use a database, it will be much quicker.
Sorry, the information I gave you with regards to creating a form image was not correct.
Code:
$data = array(
'type' => "image",
'src' => "/images/myimage.gif",
'name' => "myImage",
'alt' => "some text",
);
$value = 'blah';
echo form_input($data, $value);
Hope this helps.
