More Information
This function prints a link to the next set of posts within the current query.
If you need the values for use in PHP, use get_next_posts_link() .
Because post queries are usually sorted in reverse chronological order, next_posts_link() usually points to older entries (toward the end of the set) and previous_posts_link() usually points to newer entries (toward the beginning of the set).
Parameter $max_pages is the limit the number of pages on which the link is displayed. The default value “0” means “no limit”.
This function will not work (fail silently) if mysql.trace_mode is enabled in your php.ini. If you can’t edit that file, try adding ini_set( 'mysql.trace_mode', 0 ); to your theme’s functions.php.

Usage when querying the loop with WP_Query
Add the $max_pages parameter to the next_posts_link() function when querying the loop with WP_Query. To get the total amount of pages you can use the ‘max_num_pages’ property of the custom WP_Query object.
Basic Example
Check if next link exists
