Just save the code that makes the menu bar as menu.php (you don't have to alter the html at all) then wherever you want it on a page just include it with
Code:
<?php
include 'menu.php';
?>
And save this new page with a php extension such as index.php.
That's it there is no need to template it if you don't want to.
This is an example of one of my menu.php files
Code:
<div class="topnav" id="nav">
<ul>
<li><a href="/index.php">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="/about.php">About Us</a></li>
<li><a href="/groups.php">Groups</a></li>
<li><a href="/membership.html">Membership</a></li>
<li><a href="/committee.php">Committee</a></li>
<li><a href="/links.php">Links</a></li>
<li><a href="/newsletter.php">Newsletter</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
