cakephp $this->html->link not changing location

I am using cakephp 2.2

I have routers configured to have pretty urls

html link not changing stuck on first result

the below code works and does what I want, but I am trying to use cakes way of generating links

<td><a href="/<?php echo $examples['somemodel']['slug'];?>"><?php echo $examples['somemodel'][slug'];?> </a></td>

when I do this the url name is different but the hyper link doesn't change

<?php echo 
$this->Html->link($examples['model']['somename'], '/controllername/slug/' + $examples['model']['slug']);
?>

my results are 

<a href =”/example1”>example1 </a> 
<a href =”/example1 ”>example2 </a> 
<a href =”/example1 ”>example3 </a> 
<a href =”/example1”>example4 </a>

instead of what I want it to do

<a href =”/example1”>example1 </a> 
<a href =”/example2”>example2 </a> 
<a href =”/example3”>example3 </a>

as you can see the url name is different but the hyper link doesn't change

//router.php Router::connect(

"/example/:slug",
array('controller' => 'differentname', 'action' => 'view'),
       array( 

            'name'=>'[-A-Z0-9]+', 

           'pass' => array('slug')



          ) 

        );

Router::connectNamed(
array('/example/' => array('action' => 'view', 'controller' => 'different')),
array('default' => true, 'greedy' => true)
);      



//'view.ctp

  <?php
foreach ($example as $examples): ?>

 <?php echo 
 $this->Html->link($examples['model']['somename'], '/controllername/slug/' +     $examples['model']['slug']);
 ?>

results example1 example2 example3 example4

instead of 

   <a href =”/example1”>example1 </a> 
 <a href =”/example2”>example2 </a> 
<a href =”/example3”>example3 </a>

What am I missing or not getting here

Maybe it's because the use of '+' as a text append operator. You need to use '.' instead.

Example:

$this->Html->link($examples['model']['somename'], '/controllername/slug/'.$examples['model']['slug']);
