In Cakephp 1.1, if you want to display an image with a link, you’ll need to do something like this:

echo $html->link(
$html->image(‘myimage.jpg’),
‘/controller/action’,
array(),
null,
false
)

You need to tell CakePHP not to escape the content with last false statement. In CakePHP 1.2 you could do :

echo $html->link(
$html->image(‘myimage.jpg’),
‘/controller/action’,
array(‘escape’ => false)
)
