Include a menu on every page

Question

Say I have a simple CSS layout, and my menu is a column on the side. This menu will be placed on each web page (about 10 web pages). If I have elements in this menu in the form of links, etc., How can I make it so that if I add a link to one page, it will add it to all pages? Would you just make it a PHP page and in that element <div>include a PHP file called a menu or something else and just edit that PHP file (so I only need to edit this file, not every web page)?
