Displaying search results with pagination in php - php

Question

How do make my search work from a class... i can display my search results on the major page but i want it to display all results and if it is more than the paginated result, client can easily move to another page.
<?php
// if it's going to need the database, then it's
//probably smart to require it before we start.
#require_once(LIB_PATH.DS.'database.php');
class Product extends DatabaseObject {
protected static $table_name="products";
protected static $db_fields=array('id', 'product_id', 'image', 'title', 'slug', 'description', 'price');
public $id;
public $product_id;
public $image;
public $title;
public $slug;
public $description;
public $price;
public static function search(){
global $database;
$sql = "SELECT * FROM products WHERE image LIKE '{%$search%'";
$sql .= " OR title LIKE '{%$search%}'";
$sql .= " OR slug LIKE '%$search%'";
$sql .= " OR description LIKE '%$search%'";
$sql .= " OR price LIKE '%$search%'";
$total_count = count($sql);
$result_set = $database->query($total_count);
$row = $database->fetch_assoc($result_set);
return array_shift($row);
}
?>
Please check my code... i am a bit confused.
<?php if(empty($_POST['search'])){
$session->message("<div class='error-msg'>Search cannot be empty</div>");
redirect_to('photos.php');
}
?>
<?php include_layout_template('header2.php'); ?>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
// 1. the current page number ($current_page)
$page = !empty($_GET['page']) ? (int)$_GET['page'] : 1;
// 2. records per page ($per_page)
$per_page = 10;
// 3. total record count ($total_count)
//$total_count = Product::count_all();
$total_count = Product::search();
// Find all photos
// use pagination instead
$pagination = new Pagination($page, $per_page, $total_count);
// Instead of finding all records, just find the records
$search = $database->escape_value($_POST['search']);
