Hi, If you're new to PHP, the simplest way to repeat blocks of code on different pages is to use the requestAction method, generally in your controller, but available throughout.
This way you can have a controller just for your menus, with an action and view like renderMenu, and then you can get this as a snippet for your page by calling requestAction - your view can call it directly, or you can call it in your controllers and pass it in to the views. In the long term, you'll probably use an Element, as mindcharger describes- your code is cleaner, and apparently it's faster, because calls to requestAction go through the whole Cake dispatch process. I hope that helps...
