Ok original code in listview prior to helper:
```auto
$linev = '';
$elink = DIR . "dog/view?dogid={$row->dogid}";
$linev = "";
$linev = $linev . ' dogpic . '" alt="" class="image"> | ';
echo $linev;
```
This opens a view / detailed page and works. the url looks like
```auto
http://localhost/cakephp/dog/view?dogid=91
```
Now the code I attempted, docs didn’t show a complete example of an image with link with class applied
```auto
echo '';
echo $this->Html->link(
$this->Html->image('imgdogs/' . $row->dogpic, array(
'class' => 'image',
'alt' => ''
)), array(
'controller' => 'Dogs',
'action' => 'view', '?dogid=' . $row->dogid
), array(
'class' => 'imgtd',
'escape' => false //to allow the image tag within the link
)
);
echo ' | ';
```
which works, but the view page has this for url
```auto
http://localhost/cakephp/dogs/view/%3Fdogid%3D91
```
A slash to right of view and %3F and %3D. How do I use helper yet have this
```auto
http://localhost/cakephp/dog/view?dogid=91
```
I am fairly new to cakephp, but not php. I have also used laravel in past.
Note, found example on stackoverflow.

Ok thanks, I saw it it docs, but it didn’t catch me. this line did the trick
```auto
'?' => ['height' => 400, 'width' => 500]
```
Just changed to
```auto
'?' => ['dogid' => $row->dogid]
```
A followup, I have the images in
```auto
mysite/webroot/img/imgdogs
```
any idea how to call them if folder was
```auto
mysite/webroot/upload/imgdogs
```

in `app.php` there is [https://github.com/cakephp/app/blob/master/config/app.default.php#L49](https://github.com/cakephp/app/blob/master/config/app.default.php#L49)
`'imageBaseUrl' => 'img/',` just modify it to your needs

yeah sometimes things are mentioned only once in docs so it can be hard to catch
