Creating a link with HTML attributes.

<?php
$attributes = array(
  'attributes' => array(
    'class' => 'css-clss',
    'rel' => 'lightbox',
    'title' => 'My Title',
    'id' => 'unique-id',
  ),
);
$link = l($title, $link, $attributes);
?>

Links with image.

<?php

$image = '<img src"' . $base_path . $directory .'/images/sample.png" />';
$attributes = array(
  'html' => array(
    'html' = TRUE,
  ),
); // also $attributes = array('html' = 'true');
$link = l($img, $address, $attributes);
?>

Linking is even more important when you start needing to connect your module to other pieces of code.

Find the path to a module or file.

<?php
$type = 'module'; // Could also be 'theme' or 'profile'.
$name = 'that_other_modules_name';
drupal_get_path(%type, $name);
?>

Include external files the Drupal way!

module_load_include($type, $module_name, $name_of_file)

<?php
module_load_include('inc.php', 'my_module', 'external_file');
?>
