Proper way to link within my store

So I (accidentally) discovered that I can link within different defined pages by using code like:

<a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US); ?>">Contact Us</a>

and just replacing CONTACT_US with like CONDITIONS or PAGE_2 or PAGE_3 or whatever. But, this doesn't seem to work outside of these set of defined pages. Is there a proper way to link within my site?

For example, let's say within one of my product descriptions, I'd like to have a link that says "Tell me about this" which links to PAGE_2. Right now, I'm having to use a hard-coded link, like:

<a href="http://mysite.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=page_2">Tell me about this</a>

But I'm sure there has to be a better / more correct way of doing this. I tried using the php echo command, which works within all the define_xxx pages, but not outside of there (such as inside product descriptions).

why don't you just use:

<a href="index.php?main_page=page_2">What Ever </a>

for other pages it would look like this:

<a href="index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=30">Name Of Your Link</a>

If you need to find the correct address, just bring that page into your browser and copy the necessary part.

Hope this helps

Because you will notice that with cookies turned off in the browser, the session will break once this link is clicked. The OP's original code,

<a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US); ?>">Contact Us</a>

should pass the session id in the url when cookies are turned off in most cases. i'm exploring other ways of doing this as well. cheers!
