Programming custom PHP with Wordpress

Question

I have a question regarding PHP and Wordpress.

I recently started using Wordpress for a simple website but there is still one thing that I just don't understand. Lets say I made a cool website in php that also cointains my header, my footer and my menu. How do I implement the Wordpress CMS so that someone else can add an item in the menubar that I made, instead of adding an item in a theme made by someone else? I have a hard time finding such tutorials because most of them are for people with no programming interests and because of that they don't explain such things.

Do you know if there are any visual (video's pref) tutorials aswell? — Niek Jonkman

If your only concern is how to connect your menu to the wordpress admin, you can check this link: wp_nav_menu()

that wordpress function will then generate a list of the menu items you add on the admin.

For example use this on your theme to display a menu from the admin with the name "Main Menu":

<div class="my-menu">
    <?php wp_nav_menu(array('menu' => 'Main Menu' )); ?>
</div>
