Are there any best practices or specific techniques in PHP programming that can be utilized to achieve the desired menu functionality without relying on JavaScript?

The desired menu functionality can be achieved in PHP by using conditional statements and HTML output to dynamically display the menu items based on certain criteria such as user roles or permissions. This can be done by checking the user's role or permissions in PHP and then generating the appropriate menu items accordingly. 

<?php
// Check user role or permissions
$user_role = 'admin';

// Display menu items based on user role
if ($user_role == 'admin') {
    echo '<a href="#">Dashboard</a>';
    echo '<a href="#">Users</a>';
    echo '<a href="#">Settings</a>';
} else {
    echo '<a href="#">Home</a>';
    echo '<a href="#">About</a>';
    echo '<a href="#">Contact</a>';
}
?>
