Format an internal Drupal link.
This function correctly handles aliased paths, and allows themes to highlight links to the current page correctly, so all internal links output by modules should be generated by this function if possible.
Parameters
$text The text to be enclosed with the anchor tag.
$path The Drupal path being linked to, such as "admin/node". Can be an external or internal URL.
- If you provide the full URL, it will be considered an
external URL.
- If you provide only the path (e.g. "admin/node"), it is considered an
internal link. In this case, it must be a system URL as the url() function will generate the alias.
$attributes An associative array of HTML attributes to apply to the anchor tag.
$query A query string to append to the link.
$fragment A fragment identifier (named anchor) to append to the link.
$absolute Whether to force the output to be an absolute link (beginning with http:). Useful for links that will be displayed outside the site, such as in an RSS feed.
$html Whether the title is HTML, or just plain-text. For example for making an image a link, this must be set to TRUE, or else you will see the encoded HTML.
Return value
an HTML string containing a link to the given path.
