How can variables be effectively utilized in PHP to simplify navigation menu creation?

Using variables in PHP can simplify navigation menu creation by storing the menu items in an array or database, and then dynamically generating the menu HTML using a loop. This approach allows for easy updates to the menu items without having to manually edit the HTML code each time a change is needed. 

$menuItems = array(
    "Home" => "index.php",
    "About" => "about.php",
    "Services" => "services.php",
    "Contact" => "contact.php"
);

echo '<ul>';
foreach($menuItems as $title => $url) {
    echo '<li><a href="' . $url . '">' . $title . '</a></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
