Why don't you use ob_start() and ob_get_clean() for $pagination?

ob_start(); 
?>
        <div class="pagination">
            Pages: 
            <?php 

            for ( $i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++ ) {
                if ($i == $current_page) {
                    echo '<span> '. $i .' </span>' ;
                } else{
                    echo '<a href="catalog.php?cat='.$section.'&pg=' . $i . '">'.$i.'</a>';
                }
            }
             ?>
        </div>
<?php
$pagination = ob_get_clean();
