Making an image have a link - php

Question

I`m new to this website and I was hoping to get my first question out and get some feedback on my issue.
I am creating a "slider" which you can find here: http://complusoft.net/demo-catarroja2/es/ (at the very beginning of the page) and i`m trying to make the images which pass through the slide to be a link.
Here you can find the code which I have done:
<?php foreach ($items as $key=>$item): ?>
<?php if($params->get('itemImage') && isset($item->image)): ?>
<a class="moduleItemTitle" href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>">
<img src="<?php echo $path1;?>?src=<?php echo $item->image;?>&w=635&h=386&zc=1&q=100" alt="<?php echo K2HelperUtilities::cleanHtml($item->title); ?>" title="#htmlcaption<?php echo $key;?>"/>
</a>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
<?php foreach ($items as $key=>$item): ?>
<div id="htmlcaption<?php echo $key;?>" class="nivo-html-caption">
<?php if($params->get('itemTitle')): ?>
<!--<h2><a class="moduleItemTitle" href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>"><?php echo $item->title; ?></a></h2>-->
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="clr"></div>
<?php if($params->get('itemIntroText')): ?>
<div class="description-slider2">
<p><?php echo $item->introtext; ?></p>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
Ive looked around the internet and besides my own knowledge I know this should be the correct way besides the point that this is simple HTML I believe, I may be wrong please correct me if so.
