Creating Navigation in PHP
Creating navigation links in PHP is a fairly simple process. The code to create navigation links in PHP involves two steps: first, creating an array of links, and second, looping through the array and creating the HTML to display the navigation.

<?php
// Create an array of navigation links
$nav_links = array(
'Home' => 'index.php',
'About' => 'about.php',
'Blog' => 'blog.php',
'Contact' => 'contact.php'
);
// Loop through the array and create the HTML for the navigation
echo '<ul>';
foreach ($nav_links as $name => $url) {
echo '<li>' . $name . '</a></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
?>
The above code will create a simple unordered list of navigation links. The first step is to create our array of links. The key is the name of the link, which will be displayed to the user, and the value is the URL of the page that the link should point to. The second step is to loop through the array and create the HTML for the navigation. We use a foreach loop to loop through the array, and then we use the echo statement to create the HTML for the link. Finally, we close the unordered list with a closing </ul> tag.
In this example, we used a simple unordered list for our navigation, but you can also use other HTML elements if you want. For example, you could use a
