Calling the Link functions?

I am developing a mod and am wanting to build links to products and categories using id's.

what file(s) would I need to include to be able to call upon the zen_href() type functions?

also would it be require once, inclue, or include once?

Thanks

/includes/functions/html_output.php

I'm not 100% sure, but as far as I know this file is included by default via one of the init scripts, so you should be able to just call them as needed.

what else do I need to call? I obvioulsy nee application_top dont I for getting connectio to the database to run my queries on it..

anything else I would need?

actually don't worry, I can probably work it out looking at another standalone script like googlefroogle.php which also creates links etc so what ever is needed must be called at the top of that file hey!

well I was wrong, Im assuming that google froogle has its own logic built in somewhere to deal with creating the links..

I have for now resorted to just statically putting the links in and just using the category and product id's to make a link, but ideally would like to get the proper way of building links incorporated. any more advice much appreciated.

You do realise that we have no idea what it is you are trying to do, don't you?

sorry, I thought it was clear.

I will put in lamemans terms.

I have a blank php document.

I want to be able to run a query, when I have product id's I want to be able to build a zen cart url to a products page.

I want to be able to run a query and when I have categories id I want to be able to build a zen cart url to the category page.

I want to know what zen cart files I need to include to the document to allow use of the zen_href_link funtions and how to implement them using the product and category id's I have called.

Make sense now????
