What is the relationship between SMARTY and implementing a pagination feature in PHP?

To implement a pagination feature in PHP using SMARTY, you can create a pagination template that displays the pagination links and use SMARTY variables to pass the necessary data to the template. You can also use SMARTY functions to generate the pagination links dynamically based on the total number of pages and the current page number. 

// Assume $totalPages and $currentPage are already defined

// Calculate the pagination range
$range = 3;
$start = max(1, $currentPage - $range);
$end = min($totalPages, $currentPage + $range);

// Assign variables to SMARTY template
$smarty->assign('totalPages', $totalPages);
$smarty->assign('currentPage', $currentPage);
$smarty->assign('start', $start);
$smarty->assign('end', $end);

// Display pagination template
$smarty->display('pagination.tpl');
