Bootstrap Pagination with MySQL Data

This PHP script connects to a MySQL database, retrieves a list of top movies from a top_100_movies table, and displays them one at a time with pagination controls. It calculates which movie to show based on the current page ($_GET['page']) and generates a responsive pagination bar using Bootstrap-style classes, allowing users to navigate through pages of movie data sorted by popularity.
