What is the purpose of the PHP navigation script being used in the forum thread?

The purpose of the PHP navigation script in the forum thread is to dynamically generate navigation links for easier browsing through the forum pages. This script helps users navigate through different pages of the forum without having to manually input page numbers in the URL. 

// PHP navigation script
$current_page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 1;
$total_pages = 10; // total number of pages in the forum
$nav_links = '';

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

echo $nav_links;
