How can the user implement a page numbering system to display the total number of pages in their PHP script?

To implement a page numbering system in a PHP script to display the total number of pages, you can calculate the total number of pages based on the total number of items to display and the items per page. Then, you can display the current page number and the total number of pages in the pagination section of your script.

<?php
$itemsPerPage = 10; // Number of items to display per page
$totalItems = 50; // Total number of items to display
$totalPages = ceil($totalItems / $itemsPerPage); // Calculate the total number of pages

// Display the current page number and the total number of pages
echo "Page 1 of $totalPages";
?>
