What is the best approach to dynamically generate page numbers in a PHP script based on the number of entries per page?
When dynamically generating page numbers in a PHP script based on the number of entries per page, it is important to calculate the total number of pages based on the total number of entries and the entries per page. This can be achieved by dividing the total number of entries by the entries per page and rounding up to the nearest whole number. Once the total number of pages is calculated, you can generate a list of page numbers to display for navigation.
<?php
// Assuming $totalEntries and $entriesPerPage are already defined
$totalPages = ceil($totalEntries / $entriesPerPage);
// Generate page numbers
for ($i = 1; $i <= $totalPages; $i++) {
echo "<a href='page.php?page=$i'>$i</a> ";
}
?>
