PHP Addressing

[DrByte]

I understand *what* you're asking, but am wondering *why* you're asking it.

Is there a particular reason why you're quoting an IP address?
Is there a particular reason why you're using absolute URLs instead of relative URLs?

Apparently because I do not know what I am doing! Ergo, "man-handling" ZenCart.

This is for my sideboxes @ TechnoMonkeys

My goal is to make it fully relocateable. Change the configure.php file and everything is relocated.

Any help cleaninig up define_amazon_1_content would be greatly appeciated. I want to be able to work on my site locally rather than live. (I have killed my store several times. Not a good thing.)

amazon_1_defines
<?php
define('BOX_HEADING_AMAZON_1', '');
define('DEFINE_AMAZON_1_NAME', 'define_amazon_1_content');
?>

amazon_1
<?php
$define_sidebox = zen_get_file_directory(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/html_includes/', DEFINE_AMAZON_1_NAME, 'false');

if (isset($ezpage_id) && in_array($ezpage_id,explode(",",'1'))) {

require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_amazon.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_amazon.php');
$title = BOX_HEADING_AMAZON_1;
$title_link = false;
require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
}
?>

tpl_amazon
<?php
$content = '';
$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">';
$content .= file_get_contents($define_sidebox);
$content .= '</div>';
?>

Since you were asking in regard specifically to ez-pages links, I suggest using the approach suggested by clydejones.
