Can I have an Array containing links / urls?

I've got an array of Categories for my menu nav and wondering can I turn these into links?

$categoriesArray = array (
1 => 'Archaeology', 
2 => 'Architecture', 
3 => 'Art', 
4 => 'Artist & Writers Homes', 
5 => 'Decorative Arts & Design', 
6 => 'Fashion & Textiles', 
7 => 'Gardening & Horticulture',
8 => 'Historic Houses & Buildings',
9 => 'Local History',
10 => 'Medical',
11 => 'Military & Naval',
12 => 'Music',
13 => 'Natural History',
14 => 'Religion',
15 => 'Science, Technolgy & Industry',
16 => 'Sport',
17 => 'Theatre',
18 => 'Transport & Travel'
);


so,

$categoriesArray = array (
[archaeology] => 'http//www.sitename.com/categories/archaeology.php',
[architecture] => 'http//www.sitename.com/categories/architecture.php'
[art] => 'http//www.sitename.com/categories/art.php'
...

and then echo the value [art] for example?

Funny enough, I'm not on my home computer with dev set-up (in a coffee shop and just had the idea, writing on a laptop)

Before I get excited and work on it, just wondering if this do-able.

Thanks for your help!

Hello Philip,

You should not have any problems doing that. In fact this is how most people setup config.php file for BASE_URL and ROOT_PATH.
