Google pagination

Has anyone had any experience or knows if google and other search engines follow page A links that are set up for pagination and like this? So that the code reads and lists how many pages there are for like pages? This is the php that puts the numbered page links on the page and I notice when I hover over each page number with a mouse, each one reads as a regular text link. I just want to be sure most search engines will follow it as they do with regular text links. Please let me know, thanks very much.

<?php  // Build Page Number Hyperlinks
// Build Previous Link 
if($page > 1){ 
    $prev = ($page - 1); 
    echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;<span\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=$prev\"><<Previous</span> "; 
} 

for($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++){ 
    if(($page) == $i){ 
        echo "$i "; 
        } else { 
            echo "<span\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=$i\">$i</span> "; 
    } 
} 

// Build Next Link 
if($page < $total_pages){ 
    $next = ($page + 1); 
    echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;<span\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=$next\">Next>></span>"; 
}
?>
