How can AJAX be utilized in PHP to implement a pagination feature for displaying images in a gallery?

To implement a pagination feature for displaying images in a gallery using AJAX in PHP, you can create a PHP script that fetches a specific number of images from a database based on the pagination parameters sent via AJAX. The PHP script should return the HTML markup for the images to be displayed. On the client-side, you can use JavaScript to make AJAX requests to the PHP script when the user interacts with the pagination controls, dynamically updating the gallery with the new set of images. 

<?php
// gallery.php

// Connect to database and retrieve total number of images
$totalImages = 100; // For example

// Get pagination parameters from AJAX request
$page = $_GET['page'];
$perPage = 10; // Number of images per page

// Calculate offset for SQL query
$offset = ($page - 1) * $perPage;

// Query database to fetch images for the current page
// Replace this with your actual database query
$images = []; // Array of image URLs

// Generate HTML markup for the images
$html = '';
foreach ($images as $image) {
    $html .= '<img src="' . $image . '" alt="Image">';
}

// Return the HTML markup for the images
echo $html;
?>
