Worked! Thanks a lot.
Quite obvious when I think about it ;)

Re: Link to Image using Helpers
Assuming you meant `app/webroot/img`,
// This is a text link to an image:
echo $html->link('This is an image', '/img/some-image.png');
// This is an image link to another image:
echo $html->image('small-image.png', array('url' => '/img/big-
image.png'));
// So is this:
echo $html->link(
$html->image('small-image.png'),
'/img/big-image.png',
array('escape' => false)
);
If you didn't mean `app/webroot/img`, and you're actually storing
images in `app/img`, then let me be the first to say UR DOIN IT RONG!
If you want a file to be directly web-accessible then it belongs in
the webroot folder. Anything not in the webroot folder cannot be
accessed directly through a url.
If you really really want to keep images outside of the webroot then
you'll have to serve them with a MediaView or some other method - not
a great idea for static images since it creates quite a bit of server
overhead. If you're going for dynamic images, on the other hand, then
it makes perfect sense [though I'd invest in some cacheing].

Re: Link to Image using Helpers
If by app/img you mean app/webroot/img, then the standard $html->link () should be sufficient, right? http://api.cakephp.org/class/html-helper#method-HtmlHelperlink On Feb 12, 10:08 am, Adrian Marte wrote: > Hi, > > How can I create a link to an image (in the app/img directory) using > the HTML helper?

Link to Image using Helpers
Hi, How can I create a link to an image (in the app/img directory) using the HTML helper? I only find solutions for image links, but not links to images.
