How can PHP developers implement pagination with navigation buttons to display the next set of records in a MySQL database query result?

To implement pagination with navigation buttons in PHP for displaying the next set of records in a MySQL database query result, developers can use LIMIT and OFFSET in their SQL query to fetch a specific number of records per page. They can then calculate the total number of pages based on the total number of records and display navigation buttons to move between different pages. By updating the OFFSET value in the query based on the current page number, developers can display the appropriate set of records for each page. 

// Assuming $conn is the database connection and $limit is the number of records to display per page
$page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 1;
$offset = ($page - 1) * $limit;

$query = "SELECT * FROM table_name LIMIT $limit OFFSET $offset";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $query);

// Display records here

// Display navigation buttons
$total_records = mysqli_num_rows($result);
$total_pages = ceil($total_records / $limit);

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