What are the best practices for structuring PHP code to ensure efficient navigation rendering in an MVC architecture?

Efficient navigation rendering in an MVC architecture can be achieved by separating the navigation logic from the view rendering. It is recommended to create a separate controller or helper class to handle navigation logic and pass the necessary data to the view for rendering. 

// Controller or Helper class for navigation rendering
class NavigationController {
    public function renderNavigation() {
        // Navigation logic to generate navigation links
        $navigationLinks = [
            'Home' => '/',
            'About' => '/about',
            'Contact' => '/contact',
        ];

        // Pass navigation data to the view for rendering
        return $navigationLinks;
    }
}

// In your view file
$navigationController = new NavigationController();
$navigationLinks = $navigationController->renderNavigation();

// Render navigation links in the view
foreach ($navigationLinks as $label => $url) {
    echo "<a href='$url'>$label</a>";
}
