It really doesn't matter where you put them, as long as they are in a
directory accessible to your web server. Use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
to identify the absolute path to the server root directory then a
relative path to your menu based off of that.
But you don't necessarily need PHP for this - SSI (Server Side Includes)
can include files, also. And are you sure you're using cgi? Most
hosting companies run PHP as a module.
