Where should I put menu items in MVC with PHP - Model or Controller?
This a nice example: it shows how the MVC is just a pattern which should be ajusted to your needs.


The menu items you're showing seem very unlikely to change over time. This means you can simply put them in your "templates/menu" view.
If they're shared among multiple views, then the controller is OK.
If the menu items can change dynamically, then your model can provide a meaningful abstraction over your data, and then it would go into a model.
