Is it possible to use php coded links in category descriptions?

Instead of links like this:

<a href="http://fabricland.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=86_89">Adults</a>

I'd like to use something like this:

<a href="<?php echo ($_SERVER[''] . 'index.php?main_page=index&cPath=86_89');?>">Adults</a>

This works fine in ezpages (after installing the appropriate mod) and also define_pages. This would make life a lot easier when copying site from test server to live.

Why use absolute links at all ?

Just use relative links instead:

<a href="index.php?main_page=blahblah">etc....</a>

This way it's server-independent.

Yes that would be much better. Duh! Now I get to chuckle at myself. My only excuse is that in my rush to get online by Sept. 1st, I just pasted the links from the sideboxes and realizing that they were absolute I changed them with the $_SERVER[''] bit. I have to keep reminding myself....K.I.S.S.

Thanks for straightening me out Doc.

Simple's almost always better.
