How can PHP be used to limit the number of forum posts displayed per page?

To limit the number of forum posts displayed per page in PHP, you can use the LIMIT clause in your SQL query to retrieve only a specific number of rows from the database. By setting a limit and offset value, you can control how many posts are displayed on each page. 

// Assuming $page is the current page number and $postsPerPage is the desired number of posts per page
$offset = ($page - 1) * $postsPerPage;
$sql = "SELECT * FROM forum_posts LIMIT $offset, $postsPerPage";
// Execute the SQL query and display the posts on the page
