Using includes should make it quite easy - even for a newbie like me .

blah.php?pass=1 on your main group link .

Assuming you have the nav menu as a include you could do a 'if' and if
the value is 1 then display the extra sub menu links .

Although , You would need the ?pass=1 on all the sub links as well or
the sub menu would disappear when you clicked on sub link .

As a fellow php newbie i've found getting stuff working first and then
trying to tweak and fine tune it later can be useful .
