Unable to determine the page link!

Function used:

Answer 1

If you look in catalog/includes/functions/html_output.php, you'll see the function definition for tep_href_link. It's

function tep_href_link($page = '', $parameters = '', $connection = 'NONSSL', $add_session_id = true, $search_engine_safe = true) {

You have provided a blank first parameter. If you look at some examples in the catalog directory, you'll see they provide a first parameter, generally drawn from a define in includes/filenames.php.

Answer 2

i have faced same issue and on debug found this issue comes due to tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF) $PHP_SELF is not working properly return blank and got fixed just placing

$PHP_SELF=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
define('CONFIGURE_STATUS_COMPLETED', 1);

at the bottom of includes/configure.php and it worked.
