You have to understand the fundamentals behind html and PHP. Particularily in the X-Cart structure.

HTML catalog brings hits from search engines. While the page is html most of the X-Cart functionality links like "Login", and "Cart" are links to PHP driven pages.

You DO NOT want your customers shopping in the html store. You WANT them shopping in the PHP store. The HTML store is only to appeal to Search Engines.

HTML cannot do all of the fun stuff that PHP can. I see a lot of new users getting confused because html is easier to grasp than PHP and they assume it is an eithier/or option.

If you are running X-Cart, you want all of your internal links to be PHP 100% of the time. Let the html catalog generator decide what to make a html link in those pages but do NOT code any html links into your PHP site.
