rewrite it like this.
$html->link($html->image('/uploads/main_demo.jpg'), $html->url('/
uploads/main_zoom.jpg'), array('title' => 'hello', 'escape' =>
false, 'class' => 'mg_main'));
you shouldn't pass the url as an array. you can pass an array as a
parameter for $html->url to use verbose linking (i.e.
'controller'=>'post', 'action'=>'index').
