What are the advantages of using a class to manage navigation in PHP, as suggested by jspit?

Using a class to manage navigation in PHP can help organize and centralize navigation logic, making it easier to maintain and update. It can also provide a more flexible and reusable solution, allowing for easy customization of navigation menus based on different user roles or permissions. Additionally, using a class can help improve code readability and reduce duplication of code.

class NavigationManager {
    public function generateMenu($menuItems) {
        $menu = '<ul>';
        foreach ($menuItems as $item) {
            $menu .= '<li><a href="' . $item['url'] . '">' . $item['label'] . '</a></li>';
        }
        $menu .= '</ul>';
        return $menu;
    }
}

// Example usage
$menuItems = [
    ['url' => 'index.php', 'label' => 'Home'],
    ['url' => 'about.php', 'label' => 'About Us'],
    ['url' => 'contact.php', 'label' => 'Contact Us']
];

$navigationManager = new NavigationManager();
$menu = $navigationManager->generateMenu($menuItems);
echo $menu;
