for($i=1;$i<=10;$i++)
{
echo $this->Html->link($i ,array('controller' => 'generals','action' => 'paginator'));

Answer 1

Just add the variable you want to pass as an addtional array key in the link options, like this:

echo $this->Html->link($i ,array(
    'controller' => 'generals',
    'action' => 'paginator',
    $i // Add this after your action in order to call /generals/paginator/$i
));
