Adding Pagination Links PHP

Trying to figure out why the page displays Pages: 1 2pg=2'>2 3 4 5 when attempting pagination instructions from the video, I am pretty sure that I copied the code correctly and it works, but does not display as expected, I have:

<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?";
        } if (!empty($section)) {
          echo "cat=".$section."&";
        }
        echo "pg=$i'>$i</a>";
      }
      ?>

I think I have narrowed down the issue to a possible syntax error with echo "pg=$i'>$i</a>";

but cant seem to figure out how to correct this without breaking the site with additional syntax errors.

Thank you for the help!

This line doesn't look right either... 

echo "pg=$i'>$i</a>";
