How can pagination be implemented in a PHP page to display a limited number of database records at a time?

To implement pagination in a PHP page to display a limited number of database records at a time, you can use the LIMIT clause in your SQL query to retrieve a specific range of records. You can also calculate the total number of pages based on the total number of records and the desired number of records per page. Finally, you can create navigation links to allow users to move between different pages of records. 

<?php
// Connect to database
$pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=your_database", "username", "password");

// Define number of records per page
$records_per_page = 10;

// Get current page number
$page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 1;

// Calculate starting record for the current page
$start_from = ($page - 1) * $records_per_page;

// Retrieve records from database with pagination
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM your_table LIMIT :start_from, :records_per_page");
$stmt->bindParam(':start_from', $start_from, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$stmt->bindParam(':records_per_page', $records_per_page, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$stmt->execute();
$records = $stmt->fetchAll();

// Display records
foreach ($records as $record) {
    echo $record['column_name'] . "<br>";
}

// Create pagination links
$total_records = $pdo->query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM your_table")->fetchColumn();
$total_pages = ceil($total_records / $records_per_page);

for ($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++) {
    echo "<a href='?page=$i'>$i</a> ";
}
?>
