Are there any best practices or resources for creating a dynamic pagebar in PHP that adjusts based on the current page and total number of pages?

To create a dynamic pagebar in PHP that adjusts based on the current page and total number of pages, you can use a combination of PHP logic and HTML to generate the page links. You can calculate the starting and ending page numbers to display based on the current page and total number of pages. Additionally, you can add CSS styling to make the pagebar visually appealing. 

<?php
// Define total number of pages and current page number
$totalPages = 10;
$currentPage = 5;

// Calculate starting and ending page numbers to display
$startPage = max(1, $currentPage - 2);
$endPage = min($totalPages, $currentPage + 2);

// Output pagebar with links
echo '<div class="pagebar">';
for ($i = $startPage; $i <= $endPage; $i++) {
    if ($i == $currentPage) {
        echo '<span class="current">' . $i . '</span>';
    } else {
        echo '<a href="?page=' . $i . '">' . $i . '</a>';
    }
}
echo '</div>';
?>
