I'm trying to create an image link with the HTML helper of Laravel 4. But it seems that isn't really working. I have this line of code
{{ HTML::link("#", HTML::image("img/logo.png", "Logo") ) }}
But that just outputs a strin like this:
<img src="http://localhost/worker/public/img/logo" alt="Logo">
How come.??
You probably will have to:
<a href="#">{{ HTML::image("img/logo.png", "Logo") }}</a>
Because, link() uses entities to escape the title:
public function link($url, $title = null, $attributes = array(), $secure = null)
{
$url = $this->url->to($url, array(), $secure);
if (is_null($title) or $title === false) $title = $url;
return '<a href="'.$url.'"'.$this->attributes($attributes).'>'.$this->entities($title).'</a>';
}
Producing this source code:
"<a href="#"><img src="http://localhost/img/logo.png" alt="Logo"></a>"
I think it's overkill for no reason.
I would do:
<a href="#"><img src={{asset('img/logo.png')}} alt="Logo"></a>
If I then need a dynamic link in place of the #, I would do:
<a href="{{URL::to('/')}}"><img src={{asset('img/logo.png')}} alt="Logo"></a>
Try to use html as much as you can.
You could also use html_entity_decode to get your code working
{{ html_entity_decode( HTML::link("#", HTML::image("img/logo.png", "Logo") ) ) }}
HTML helper has been removed from Laravel 5
now you could simple use this
<img src="{{ asset('logo.png') }}" alt="logo">
This asset by default point to public folder of your larval application
Additional to correct answer also you can add some attribute like height and width
<a href="#">{{ HTML::image("img/logo.png", "Logo",array('height'=>'100','width'=>'100')) }}</a>
\Html::tag('a', \Html::image('image path')->toHtml(), ['href' => 'link']);
