I know this is pretty late, but my issue came from my re-directs. In the first example when a category is selected both re-directs are attempting to run. This throws the TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error. In the second example, the code has been corrected running only one re-direct when a category is selected.

Keep in mind that if both of the redirects are running at the same time for any reason we will see this error.

Hope this helps!

<?php

/* Original Code */ 
//Rediret too-large page numbers to the last page
if($current_pagec> $total_pages){
    header("location:catalog.php?"
    //Category limit results
    . $limit_results 
    ."pg=" . $total_pages);
}

//Redirect too-small page numbers to the first page
if($current_page > $total_pages){
    header("location:catalog.php?" 
        //Category limit results
        . $limit_results 
        . "pg=1" . $total_pages
    );
}

/* Corrected Code */
//Rediret too-large page numbers to the last page
if($current_page > $total_pages){
    header("location:catalog.php?"
    //Category limit results
    . $limit_results 
    ."pg=" . $total_pages);
}

//Redirect too-small page numbers to the first page
if($current_page < 1){
    header("location:catalog.php?" 
        //Category limit results
        . $limit_results 
        . "pg=1" . $total_pages
    );
}
