How can the number of pages for pagination be calculated based on the total number of entries and entries per page in a PHP application?

To calculate the number of pages for pagination in a PHP application based on the total number of entries and entries per page, you can divide the total number of entries by the entries per page and round up to the nearest whole number. This will give you the total number of pages needed to display all the entries.

$total_entries = 100; // total number of entries
$entries_per_page = 10; // entries to display per page

$total_pages = ceil($total_entries / $entries_per_page);

echo "Total number of pages: " . $total_pages;
