What exactly is your problem?
Do you want to know how to use your PHP file as a content element (which 
would be a plugin in this case)?
Or do you want to know how to get the navigation into your PHP file?

Usually page content will be fetched via TypoScript CONTENT element.
If you want to generate the content with your own script you should create a 
small extension for it that implements the script as a plugin.
This plugin can be inserted as a content element (of type plugin) as well so 
that you could stay with your default template instead of using 
PHP_SCRIPT_EXT
