    I’m working on an option page for my plugin and I’m trying to display all of the current admin menu items, including custom menus, in a list of checkboxes. So far, I’ve been able to use the following to get the list of the menu items:

    global $menu;
foreach ( $menu as $group => $items ) {
    foreach ( $items as $position => $item ) {
        // echo $item;
        printf(
            '<input type="checkbox" name="menu_option_name[menu_items]" id="menu_items" value="menu_items" %s> <label for="menu_items">' . $item . '</label>',
            ( isset( $this->menu_options['menu_items'] ) && $this->menu_options['menu_items'] === 'menu_items' ) ? 'checked' : ''
        );
        echo '<br>';
    }
}

    Which gives this output:
    https://s32.postimg.org/3oej4pbdh/menu_array.png

    How can I have this list just the file name (ex: index.php)? I noticed that the menu’s file name is on the [2] position of each array.

    Solved. Use the following to get a list of just the name and the filename:

    
global $menu;
foreach ( $menu as $group => $item ) {
    if ( ! empty( $item[0] ) ) {
        echo $item[0] . " > " . $item[2] . "<br>";
    }
}

    As a result:

    
Dashboard > index.php
Posts > edit.php
Media > upload.php

Comments 0 > edit-comments.php
Test > edit.php?post_type=test

Plugins 0 > plugins.php
Users > users.php
Tools > tools.php
Settings > options-general.php
