I am just starting PHP and I want to create a customizable menu using jquery and a PHP script that can have a variable amount of items.

Thanks to Chase for his Answer on Stack Overflow

index.php:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<head>
<?PHP
$script_url="http://files01.s0urc3.ismywebsite.com/jquery/nagging-menu/nagging-menu.js";
$menu_css="http://files01.s0urc3.ismywebsite.com/jquery/nagging-menu/style.css";
$links = array(
    array("url" => "http://www.something1.com", "label" => "something"),
    array("url" => "http://www.something2.com", "label" => "something2"),
    array("url" => "http://www.something3.com", "label" => "something3"),
);
include("menu.php");
?>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1"/>
<title></title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href=".css"/>
</head>
<body>
<?=writeMenu($links, $menu_css, $script_url)?>
</body>
</html>

menu.php:

<?
function writeMenu($links, $script_url, $menu_css){

$menu = '' $menu = ''; $menu .= ''; $menu .= '';

    foreach ($links as $item) {
        $menu .= "<li><a href=\"".$item['url']."\">".$item['label']."</a></li>";
    }

    $menu .= "</ul>";
    $menu .= "</div>";
    $menu .= "<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script>";
    $menu .= "<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=$script_url charset=\"utf-8\"></script>";

    return $menu;
}
?>

I am getting an error when i run this. The error is:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/s0urc3/public_html/files01/menu.php on line 5
