Hierarchical Menu

I've been coding on experts exchange, testing myself. Here's some relevant code for one of the answers.

They're classes that have been used to generate hierarchical menus.

<?php
/**

 *
 * Library to help create hierarchical menus.
 * Use MenuRenderer to display the menus.

 * 
 * $menuBar = new Menu('MenuBar');
 * $fileMenu = $menuBar->addMenu( 'File' );
 * $fileMenu->addUrl( 'Open', '/admin/foo.php' );
 * $fileMenu->addUrl( 'Save', '/admin/bar.php' );
 * $fileMenu->addDivider();
 * $fileMenu->addUrl( 'Close', '/admin/baz.php' );

class Menu
{
	var $acl;
	var $menu;
	var $menuHash; //fixme - combine these two structures into one
	var $name;
	var $description;
	var $icon;
	var $url;
	var $highlight;

	function Menu( &$acl, $name, $description='', $icon='', $url='' )
	{
		$this->acl			=& $acl;
		$this->menu 		= array();
		$this->name 		=& $name;
		$this->description 	=& $description;
		$this->icon 		=& $icon;
		$this->url 			=& $url;
		$this->highlight	= false;
	}
	function addObject( &$obj )
	{
		array_push( $this->menu, &$obj );
	}
	function addNamedObject( $name, &$obj )
	{
		$this->menuHash[$name] =& $obj;
		$this->addObject( &$obj );
	}
	/**
	 * Utility function.
	 */
	function &addMenu( &$acl, $name, $description='', $icon='', $url='' )
	{
		$new = new Menu( &$acl, $name, $description, $icon, $url );
		$this->addObject( $new );
		return $new;
	}
	function &getNamedObject( $name )
	{
		return $this->menuHash[$name];
	}
	function &addUrl( &$acl, $name, $url, $description='', $popup='' )

		$this->addObject( $new );

	}
	function select( $name )
	{
		for( $i=0; $i < count($this->menu); $i++ )
		{
			if ($this->menu[$i]->name==$name)
			{
				return $this->menu[$i];
			}
		}
	}
	function rewind()
	{
		reset($this->menu);
	}
	function &next()
	{
		// check the acl to see if this user can see the next item - fixme
		list( $index, $obj ) = each( $this->menu );
		return $obj;
	}
	function disable()
	{
		$this->enabled = false;
	}
	function enable()
	{
		$this->enabled = true;

	function highlight()
	{
		$this->highlight = true;
	}
}

class UrlMenuItem extends Menu
{
	var $name;
	var $url;
	var $description;
	var $popup;

	function &UrlMenuItem( &$acl, $name, $url, $description='', $popup='' )
	{
		$this->acl			=& $acl;
		$this->name 		=& $name;
		$this->url 			=& $url;
		$this->description 	=& $description;
		$this->popup 		=& $popup;
		return $this;
	}

}
class DividerMenuItem extends Menu
{
	function DividerMenuItem()
	{
		$this->name = 'divider';
	}
}


?>


The menus are rendered via another class:

/**

 *
 * Rendering classes for menus.  These are kind of like "templates"
 * for menus, except they can render hierarchies, portions of menus,
 * etc.  There's HTML code in here.  Yuk.
 */

/**
 * Rendering interface.  Each renderer must implement the
 * url, divider, and menu methods.  The menu() method is the heart
 * of the renderer.
 */
class MenuRenderer
{
	function MenuRenderer() {}
	function divider() {}
	function url() {}
	function menu() {}
	function item( $obj ) 
	{
		return $obj->name;
	}
}

/**
 * Renders a menu as an html unordered list (UL).
 */
class HtmlMenuRenderer extends MenuRenderer
{
	function HtmlMenuRenderer() {}

	function menu( &$menu, $indent=0 )
	{
