Stuck on the pagination function challenge (task 2)

Heres the link to the challenge https://teamtreehouse.com/library/integrating-php-with-databases/limiting-records-in-sql/pagination-function. I have stuck on the task 2.

Here's my code: <?php include "pagination.php";

/* add function here / function pagination($total_pages, $current_page, $section, $search){ / setting pagination variable */ $pagination = "<div class=\"pagination\">"; $pagination .= "Pages: ";
for ($i = 1;$i <= $total_pages;$i++) { if ($i == $current_page) { $pagination .= " <span>$i</span>"; } else { $pagination .= " <a href='catalog.php?"; if (!empty($search)) { $pagination .= "s=".urlencode(htmlspecialchars($search)) . '&' ; } else if (!empty($section)) { $pagination .= "cat=".$section . '&'; } $pagination .= "pg=$i'>$i</a>"; } } $pagination .= "</div>"; }

/* displaying the pagination */ echo pagination(4, 1, "", "");

It's bummering that Task 1 is no longer passing.

p.s. sorry don't know how to display code in the right way

hi, again ;)

<?php
include "pagination.php";

/* add function here */
function pagination($total_pages, $current_page, $section, $search) {
  /* setting pagination variable */
$pagination = "<div class=\"pagination\">";
$pagination .= "Pages: ";  
for ($i = 1;$i <= $total_pages;$i++) {
    if ($i == $current_page) {
        $pagination .= " <span>$i</span>";
    } else {
        $pagination .= " <a href='catalog.php?";
        if (!empty($search)) {
            $pagination .= "s=".urlencode(htmlspecialchars($search)) . '&' ;
        } else if (!empty($section)) {
            $pagination .= "cat=".$section . '&';
        }
        $pagination .= "pg=$i'>$i</a>";
    }
}
$pagination .= "</div>";
return $pagination;
}

/* displaying the pagination */
echo pagination($total_pages, $current_page, $section, $search);

Hi. Thanks again!)
