How can entry numbers be passed to the next page when paginating results in PHP?

When paginating results in PHP, entry numbers can be passed to the next page by including them as parameters in the URL. This can be achieved by adding a query string to the URL with the entry numbers as values. On the next page, the entry numbers can be retrieved from the URL parameters and used to fetch the appropriate results. 

// Paginate results
$entriesPerPage = 10;
$page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 1;
$offset = ($page - 1) * $entriesPerPage;

// Fetch results based on entry numbers
$queryString = http_build_query(array_merge($_GET, ['page' => $page + 1]));
echo "<a href='next_page.php?$queryString'>Next Page</a>";
