What are some best practices for creating dynamic menus for gallery entries in PHP?

When creating dynamic menus for gallery entries in PHP, it is important to use a database to store the gallery entries and their corresponding details. By querying the database, you can dynamically generate the menu items based on the entries available. Additionally, using a loop to iterate through the entries and generate the menu items will make the process more efficient and scalable. 

// Connect to the database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "gallery";

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Query the database to retrieve gallery entries
$sql = "SELECT id, title FROM gallery_entries";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

// Generate dynamic menu items based on gallery entries
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        echo "<a href='gallery.php?id=" . $row['id'] . "'>" . $row['title'] . "</a><br>";
    }
} else {
    echo "No gallery entries available.";
}

// Close database connection
$conn->close();
