PHP Pagination wont work with menu keys

I have an issue. My pagination works correct with the alone paginate_customers.php page. It skips along each page without issue. Now since I have added the paginate_customers.php to my index page as a "/index.php?menukey=10" when I go to page 2 of the paginate_customers.php page it does not go, it just refreshes the page to page 1 of the paginate_customers.php page. How can I fix this?
I will add the code below of the ps_pagination. php and the paginate_customers.php page that is displayed on the website. Any suggestions will help, thanks!

<?php


class PS_Pagination {
	var $php_self;
	var $rows_per_page; //Number of records to display per page
	var $total_rows; //Total number of rows returned by the query
	var $links_per_page; //Number of links to display per page
	var $sql;
	var $debug = false;
	var $conn;
	var $page;
	var $max_pages;
	var $offset;

This is what it currently looks like on the address bar "http://......./.../index.php?menukey=10?page=2" This is what keeps returning the "http://......./.../index.php?menukey=10" page. Any thoughts?
I had to change the addresses as above it was screwing up my links on the original paginate_customers.php page.
what happens when you go to page = 3 ?
@Roads_Roads

The page will stay at the landing page for ?menukey=10. If I remove "?menukey=10?page='..." from the ps_pagination.php page and just leave the '?page="..' instead of the "?menukey=10?page='..." the links value changes to 'index.php?page=3" and it displays nothing more than the "index.php?" page it doesn't recognize that I am requesting the menukey=10 page and from that page the 3rd page from the database table.

I'll never get through 275 lines of code, but you might find some help in this tutorial.  It's the canonical example of correct pagination.

Best of luck with it, ~Ray
I dont think you all understand, the pagination actually works on the paginate_customers.php perfectly fine. But when it is called from a menukey option and displayed into a primarycontent area(where the sidebar and menu stay fixed but pages display within the middle frame) the pagination doesn't work.
I'm trying to use a query string to pass two variables, the menukey=10 and the ?page=' ' function.
I found the solution. its was just one funky ampersand sign " /index.php?menukey=10&page=' ' "
