CakePHP Span tag in Anchor tag

I am trying to output a CakePHP link that looks like this:

 <a href="/foo/bar" class="some other classes">
     <span class="icon new"></span>FooBar</a>

So I use the following code in my view

    <?php 
echo $this->Html->link(
$this->Html->tag('span', null, array('class' => 'icon new')) . "FooBar",
        array('controller' => 'foo', 'action' => 'bar'),
        array('class' => 'some other  classes', 'escape' => false)
     );
?>

However, CakePHP outputs the following:

<a href="/foo/bar" class="some other classes">
     <span class="icon new">FooBar</span></a>

What violates my design. How can I get CakePHP to add <span>"FooBar" tags after ?

EDIT: Its also worth mentioning that I know that tags <span>should not be in the anchor tag normally, but in the case where it should.

You need to use an empty string instead nullas text for the range, then your code will work as expected.

HtmlHelper, null "" , . :

, ;

echo $this->Html->link(
    $this->Html->tag('span', '', array('class' => 'icon new')) . "FooBar",
    array('controller' => 'foo', 'action' => 'bar'),
    array('class' => 'some other  classes', 'escape' => false)
);

</span>

<a href="<?php echo Router::url(array('controller'=>'myController', 'action'=>'index'))?>"><span class="icon-new"></span>Foobar</a>

It looks a bit overwhelming to me. Just do the following:

echo $this->Html->link(
   "<span class="icon new"></span> FooBar",
    array('controller' => 'foo', 'action' => 'bar'),
    array('class' => 'some other  classes', 'escape' => false)
);

I have been using CakePHP for 4 years and I do not see the benefits of using a tag in this instance.

Can you use regular PHP in this case?

I think you could do it like this:

<?PHP
   echo('<a href="' . '/foo/bar' . '" class="' . 'some other classes' . '"><span class="' . 'icon new' . '"></span>' . 'FooBar' . '</a>')
?>
