How can PHP developers ensure that navigation elements are only displayed when there are multiple pages available, as in the provided code snippet?

To ensure that navigation elements are only displayed when there are multiple pages available, PHP developers can check the total number of pages and only display the navigation elements if the total number of pages is greater than 1. This can be achieved by adding a conditional statement around the navigation elements in the code snippet.

<?php
$total_pages = 10; // Example total number of pages

if ($total_pages > 1) {
    // Display navigation elements
    echo "<a href='#'>Previous</a>";
    echo "<a href='#'>Next</a>";
}
?>
