As for development time, I personally don't find that it takes me much longer at all. And it also helps to keep clear what a given link is all about, both for my own sanity and any future developer who might come across it. Which controller? Which view? Admin or not? etc. And the extra hit with having the helper create the link is minimal if you're using a cache.

Re: Why using HTML-link instead of manually writing an anchor text ?
For URLs, you can use HtmlHelper::url() and for links a href=?=$this-Html-url('/'); ?Home/a HtmlHelper::link() benefit is decoding and converting special HTML entities - characters (when you link some code or URL) On Sunday, July 1, 2012 6:15:00 AM UTC+2, Chetan Patel wrote: Hello, 1) I tend to have about 3 environments my app run on (local, dev and production). Local and dev usually run in a subfolder setup and production runs on a root domain. The reason I use the helpers for links and images is because this way I don't need to worry about the base url when linking and pointing to images. It's very easy and portable. 2) For images and links, I see at least one major advantage of using helpers : those will deal with absolute-URLs and http/https protocols *(for href/src that point to your website)*, no matter where your application is deployed.
