How to generate my menu in primary location in wordpress php site

to avoid installing my menu in each pages (sidebar.php, index.php, category.php, etc.), i create a template part (a php.file) for my menu, for example :

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying menu in Twenty Eleven Child Theme
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage My Twenty_Eleven Child Theme
 * @since My Twenty Eleven Child Theme 1.0
 */
?>

<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li>
<a href="http://www.mylink1.com/">home</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://www.mylink2.com/">about</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://www.mylink3.com/">contact</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

Then i install the <?php get_menu(); ?> after the <div id="primary"> in each page where i want to show the menu...

I guess i must also make some codes in the function.php (register the menu), how should i do ??? What else should i do still ?

Please note that i do not know much about php !

Thanks for your help in advance !

Thought I would push my answer out of the comments:

function get_menu(){
    $menu = "<div class='menu'><ul><li><a href='/link'>Link</a></li></ul></div>";
    return $menu;
}

Then on the page:

<?php $get_menu = get_menu(); echo $get_menu; ?>

Unless you wanted to register your get_menu as a global variable in that case you would just need to <?php echo get_menu(); ?>
