Drupal 7 adding custom menus to pages - drupal

Question

I have been developing with Drupal 7 for the past 4 months now, and I can't seem to find a straight answer as to how to add more menus on my pages. I understand the whole system_main_menu and system_secondary_menu, but how in the world can I add more menus to my page if I make a custom menu, let's say I have a footer_social_menu? I just love dynamic menus.
Here's what I am working with right now
function cornmaze_links($variables){
$html = '<ul>';
foreach($variables['links'] as $link){
$html .= '<li>'. l($link['title'], $link['href'], $link).'</li>';
}
$html .= '</ul>';
return $html;
}
I tried using the THEME_links($vars) function, but that affects ALL of the menus, what if I wanted to add a certain ID to a custom menu? or change the custom menu to use all divs? That's what I don't get. I can't necessarily loop through the menus using the THEME_links() function?
I don't want to put them in a block either, if I don't have to, just to avoid any extra markup that I don't need. I just want to be able to control menus, whether they be system or custom.
Any help, or light shed would be awesome! Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Try menu block module. It creates your menus as blocks and highly configurable.
Here's the documentation link.

Please Check , this may be help ful for you,
function formuserentry_menu() {
$items = array();
$items['formuserentry'] = array( //this creates a URL that will call this form at "examples/form-example"

'access callback' => TRUE,
'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM
);
$items['formuserentry/application'] = array( //this creates a URL that will call this form at "examples/form-example"
'title' => 'Entry Application Forms', //page title

'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form', //this is the function that will be called when the page is accessed. for a form, use drupal_get_form
'page arguments' => array('formuserentry_application' , 2), //put the name of the form here
