Are there any specific PHP functions or techniques that can be used to streamline the process of implementing a pagination function?

Implementing a pagination function in PHP can be streamlined by using the built-in functions like `array_slice` to extract a portion of the data to display on each page, and `ceil` to calculate the total number of pages needed based on the total number of items and items per page. 

function paginate($dataArray, $itemsPerPage, $currentPage) {
    $totalItems = count($dataArray);
    $offset = ($currentPage - 1) * $itemsPerPage;
    $paginatedData = array_slice($dataArray, $offset, $itemsPerPage);
    
    $totalPages = ceil($totalItems / $itemsPerPage);
    
    return [
        'data' => $paginatedData,
        'totalPages' => $totalPages
    ];
}
