What are some best practices for creating a dynamic menu with only one level of navigation in PHP?

When creating a dynamic menu with only one level of navigation in PHP, it is important to utilize an array to store the menu items and then loop through this array to generate the menu dynamically. This approach allows for easy maintenance and scalability of the menu items.

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

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