Question

Updating from Cake 1.2 to 1.3 and I have an image nested in a link element, both generated by the HTML helper. The nested image’s markup is however escaped from < to > ect. I know the HTML helper now escapes stuff by default, but I can’t get it to change this behavior.

This is the code generating an example image link:

$html->link($html->image('icons/small/navigation-back.gif', array('alt'=>"Move Left", 'border'=>"0"))
,'#',array('id'=>'options_left'), array('escape'=>false))

I added the array('escape'=>false) bit from the official Cake documentation (part of the $options array), but I still get escaped image tags. Is the order set wrong or did more change than I’m aware of? The original code is straight from cake 1.2.

Answer 1

the third parameter is the options array:

$html->link($html->image('icons/small/navigation-back.gif', array('alt'=>"Move Left", 'border'=>"0"))
,'#',array('id'=>'options_left', 'escape'=>false))
