CakePHP adding image to echo $this->Html->link -

hi have tried various things not sure if trying on complicate things. quite want add small image country flag word 'spanish' , 'english' , have 'alt' tag words instead. following works fine text , cool have image either replace or sit side side word. available?

    echo $this->html->link('spanish', array('controller'=>'settings', 'action'=>'lang', 'spa'),         array('rel'=>'nofollow')); }  else {     echo $this->html->link('english', array('controller'=>'settings', 'action'=>'lang', 'eng'),         array('rel'=>'nofollow')); } 

you can either output linked image using image method url attribute:-

<?php  echo $this->html->image(     'spain.jpg',      array(         'alt' => 'spanish',         'url' => array('controller' => 'settings', 'action' => 'lang', 'spa')     ) ); 

or can include image text link combining normal cakephp link method , image method:-

<?php  echo $this->html->link(     h('spanish') . $this->html->image('spain.jpg', array('alt' => 'spanish')),     array('controller' => 'settings', 'action' => 'lang', 'spa'),     array('escape' => false, 'rel' => 'nofollow') ); 

with link method need remember prevent cake escaping img tag using 'escape' => false. if disable escaping work remembering escape user provided text using h() method prevent html injection (i've shown in example wrapping word 'spanish' necessary if coming variable).
