It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.

pagination functions

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>";
}
/* displaying the pagination */
 echo pagination();

Looks like you forgot your arguments when calling the function. This worked for me:

'''php <?php include "pagination.php";

/* add function here */ function pagination($total_pages, $current_page, $section, $search) { $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); '''
