image link in Yii framework - yii

Question

hello friends I am newbie to YII. I have an image . After calling that image in Yii its code like is this
<img class="deals_product_image" src="<?php echo MPFunctions::uploaded_image_url($data->item_display_image()->file_ufilename); ?>" alt="<?php echo $data->name; ?>" />
in general html it is doing like this
<img alt="women jackets" src="files/items/images/4db3b3b6a7c06/womens-jacket-thumb.jpg" class="deals_product_image">
Now I want that this image should be a href link like
<a href="files/items/images/4db3b3b6a7c06/womens-jacket-thumb.jpg img src="files/items/images/4db3b3b6a7c06/womens-jacket-thumb.jpg class="deals_product_image"/> </a>
so for this I used code like this
<?php echo CHtml::link('', array('items/viewslug', 'slug'=>$data->slug)); ?>
But it is not showing any link tag like <a href="">
so can any one tell me what should I do?What should I write in between '' tags?

You should simply give the html for the <img> tag as the first parameter:
$imageUrl = MPFunctions::uploaded_image_url($data->item_display_image()->file_ufilename);
$image = '<img class="deals_product_image" src="'.$imageUrl.'" alt="'.$data->name.'" />';
echo CHtml::link($image, array('items/viewslug', 'slug'=>$data->slug));
By the way, you can use CHtml::image to create the <img> tag as well:
$imageUrl = MPFunctions::uploaded_image_url($data->item_display_image()->file_ufilename);
$image = CHtml::image($imageUrl, $data->name, array('class' => 'deals_product_image'));
echo CHtml::link($image, array('items/viewslug', 'slug'=>$data->slug));
