Problems with the pagination function in the "Integrating PHP with Databases" course

Hi! I have problems with the task 2 of 2 when recheck work. Says this:

Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.

I think that I've followed the instructions correctly but maybe there is a problem with my code, please help!!!

index.php 
<?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(3,2,"","");

call to pagination should be:

echo pagination($total_pages, $current_page, $section, $search);
