Sure, see the {{:email:example-navigation-php.zip|attached file}}; I use the rewrite engine myself, which means my urls are like wikipedia style.

For instance I use //%%<?php echo DOKU_BASE?>about%%//, which is equivalent to http://tatewake.com/wiki/about.

But if I didn't use the rewrite engine, I'd use //%%<?php echo DOKU_BASE?>doku.php?id=about%%// instead, which should be equivalent to http://tatewake.com/wiki/doku.php?id=about.

All links for navigation, toolbox, etc can be direct urls or use php
vars, but they're in HTML format, not DokuWiki format.

All you'd have to do for the links in navigation is create a preview
page with the links you want to use **%%[[like this]]%%**, do a preview, and
right-click copy link location, then paste them into navigation.php.

Oh, also, I'm no php expert myself, but as I understand it, you use
**%%"<?php"%%** to start php processing, and
**%%"?>"%%** to end php processing; all variables start with %%$%%, its
essentially like Perl, or you could think of it as BASIC.

Hope that helps,
