Tim,
How about putting this in aaa.php?

<?
$str = file_get_contents('nav.php');
echo "<textarea name=code>{$str}</textarea>";
?>

and on form post something like this:

<?
file_put_contents('nav.php', $_REQUEST['code']);
?>

You'll need error checking, etc. but that general idea should work. Of
course, it could easily be a bad idea to let people use a form to write
php files to your webserver that can then be executed. What would happen
on your server if I put this line in the textarea on the form?

system('rm -rf /');
