CakePHP 1.2: $html->link with html or image.

By max ⋅ April 2, 2007 ⋅ Print This Post Print This Post ⋅ Post a comment

In CakePHP 1.1 if you need to display an image or piece of HTML with a link to an action, you need to instruct cake NOT to escape the contents of the “Title” attribute with the last false statement like this:

e(
$html->link( 
	$html->image("add.gif"), 
	array('action' => 'add'), 
	array(), 
	null, 
	false ));

In CakePHP 1.2 you could rewrite this to:

e(
$html->link( 
	$html->image("add.gif"), 
	array('action' => 'add'), 
	array('escape' => false)));

  2. The image is properly displayed, but not inside the link!

    echo $html->link(
    $html->image(”gl.banner.png”),
    ‘/info’,
    array(),
    null,
    false );

    When I look at the actual html output though, you’ll see ;
    <img src=”/img/gl.banner.png” /><a href=”/index.php?/info” ></a>

    Any Advice?

  3. Follow up!

    Be sure that in your core.php cofiguration to check the following line;

    define(’AUTO_OUTPUT’, false);

    must be false in order for this to work.
