What are the potential pitfalls of using a predefined page navigation script for displaying database query results?

One potential pitfall of using a predefined page navigation script for displaying database query results is that it may not be customizable to fit the specific requirements of your project. To solve this issue, you can create a custom pagination script that allows you to easily modify and tailor the navigation to suit your needs. 

// Custom pagination script
function custom_pagination($total_pages, $current_page) {
    $output = '';

    for ($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++) {
        if ($i == $current_page) {
            $output .= '<span>' . $i . '</span>';
        } else {
            $output .= '<a href="?page=' . $i . '">' . $i . '</a>';
        }
    }

    return $output;
}

// Example usage
$total_pages = 10;
$current_page = 5;

echo custom_pagination($total_pages, $current_page);
