Help with listing array

[webnoob]

Ok so i have a file that im including to each of my pages, the file contains all the things that i need to be on evry page but i may want to change at some point and i might aswell change 1 source rather than dozens. I want to create an array (open to other suggestions) that will contain a list of links that will create my menu. So basically on

include.php

<?

$Menu = array('Link1', 'Link2'); // And so on...

?>

then on each of my pages the page is included but how would i display each of the links as a seperate html line i.e (bearing in mind there could be any number of links and each needs its own line of code, so needs to be fully dynamic)

<a class="nav" href="mylinkhere.php">Links</a><span class="hide"> | </span> 

I mean i could do it with a DB no problem, but can it be done using an array and an included page?

Thanks in advance, WebNoob

Hmm,

<?php

$menu = array('Home' => 'index.php', 'Contact' => 'contact.php');//etc

foreach($menu as $anchor => $link)
{
  echo '<a class="nav" href="'.$link.'">'.$anchor.'</a><span class="hide"> | </span>';
}

?

...possibly making it a little more readable(?):

$menu = array('index.php'=>'Home', 'contact.php'=>'Contact');//etc

foreach($menu as $href =>$linkText)
{
    echo<<<UNIQUEID
        <a class="nav" href="$href">$linkText</a>
        <span class="hide"> | </span>
UNIQUEID;
}

Ok thanks guys ill give it a go thanks. Is this a good way to do what im aiming for, or is using a DB better off?

What SecondIV said should work fine, and I personally think using a DB for this would be overkill.
