How can PHP be used to ensure that the correct entries are displayed when paginating results from a database query?

When paginating results from a database query in PHP, you can use the LIMIT clause in your SQL query to control the number of results displayed per page. To ensure the correct entries are displayed, you also need to calculate the offset based on the current page number and the number of results per page. 

// Set the number of results per page
$results_per_page = 10;

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

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

// Query the database with the LIMIT clause
$query = "SELECT * FROM your_table LIMIT $offset, $results_per_page";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);

// Display the results
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    // Display each entry from the database
}
