Are there best practices for implementing "Next" and "Previous" buttons to navigate through paginated content in PHP?

Implementing "Next" and "Previous" buttons to navigate through paginated content in PHP involves keeping track of the current page number and updating the links accordingly. One common approach is to use URL parameters to pass the page number back and forth between pages. By checking the current page number and adjusting the links dynamically, users can easily navigate through the paginated content. 

<?php
// Get the current page number from the URL parameter
$page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 1;

// Display "Previous" button if not on the first page
if ($page > 1) {
    echo '<a href="?page=' . ($page - 1) . '">Previous</a>';
}

// Display "Next" button if not on the last page
if ($page < $totalPages) {
    echo '<a href="?page=' . ($page + 1) . '">Next</a>';
}
?>
