PHP array editor

[quinxorin]

This is my first post on this site. I have a little problem. My site has a menu bar on the side. The menu bar is dynamically generated from an array, which looks like this:

<?php
$navmenu=array(
	array(
				"data" => array(
					"text" => "Text for item 1",
					"url" => "url for item 1",
					),
				"subcontents" => array(
									array(
										"data" => array(
											"text" => "text for item 1, subitem 1",
											"url" => "url for item 1, subitem 1",
											),
									),
									array(
										"data" => array(
											"text" => "text for item 1, subitem 2",
											"url" => "url for item 1, subitem 2",
											),
										"subcontents" => array(
															array(
																"data" => array(
																	"text" => "text for item 1, subitem 2, subsubitem 1",
																	"url" => "url for item 1, subitem 2, subsubitem 1",
																	),
																),
										),
									),
								),									
					),
	array(
				"data" => array(
					"text" => "text for item 2",
					"url" => "url for item 2",
				),
				"subcontents" => array(
									array(
										"data" => array(
											"text" => "text for item 2, subitem 1",
											"url" => "text for item 2, subitem 1",
										),
									),
				),
	),

);
?>

The dynamic generation isn't the problem - I do that with the recursive function. The thing is, I am drawing a blank when it comes to making an EDITOR for the array, which is why I'm doing this complicated dynamic generation. I want to be able to edit the entries in the menu bar with an easy-to-understand form, but I can't even figure out how to lay it out, let alone the php to use to process it. Is there a good way to do this, or am I trying to do something really complicated and unnecessary? If it helps you understand what I'm trying to do, here's what the nav menu looks like when it's generated:

<ul>
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarVertical">
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="url for item 1">Text for item 1</a><ul>
<li><a href="url for item 1, subitem 1">text for item 1, subitem 1</a></li>
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="url for item 1, subitem 2">text for item 1, subitem 2</a><ul>
<li><a href="url for item 1, subitem 2, subsubitem 1">text for item 1, subitem 2, subsubitem 1</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="url for item 2">text for item 2</a><ul>
<li><a href="text for item 2, subitem 1">text for item 2, subitem 1</a></li>

</ul>
</li>
</ul>

BEsides that yes, you are doing something complicated ( I personnaly would use a database, and store the parent ID with the menu entry, so that you can easily get things from the database), I think a way to create an easier way to process it, is by creating the array with numbers as keys, rather than with names:

$menua = array(
0=> array(
'label' => menu1,
'url' => link,
'submenuitem'=> array(

etc.

Then you can refer to the keys when you make a form. Using foreach()
