how to center php paginator with css

Question

I'm trying to center my paginator.
I keep trying different things but it either goes all the way to the right, or it doesn't get centered.

This is my code :

<?php
  $pagination = $products->pagination();?>
    <?php foreach($pagination->range(10)as $r): ?>
      <div class="paginator">
        <ul>
          <li><a<?php if($pagination->page() == $r) echo ' ' ?> href="<?php echo $pagination->pageURL($r) ?>"><?php echo $r ?></a></li>
        </ul>
      </div>
    <?php endforeach ?>
?>

and here is my css

.paginator {
  width: 100%;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  /*position: absolute;*/
  /*bottom: 0;*/
  /*left:0;*/
  /*right:0;*/
}

.paginator li {
  float: left;
  padding: 5px 8px 8px 8px;
  font-size: 13px;
  font-weight: 600;
  transition: .5s;
  border: thin solid #2A4143;
  /*border-radius: 0 25px 0 0;*/
  top: 100%;
  left: -1px;
  height: 28px;
  width: 28px;
  background-color: #F5F5F5;
  display: inline;
  /*display: block;*/
  /*margin-left: auto;*/
  /*margin-right: auto;*/
  /*max-height: 100px;*/
  /*position: absolute;*/
}

Answer 1

Add text-align: center; to .paginator and remove float: left; from .paginator li

EDIT: added a container for all the paginators and then made .paginator to disply: inline-block; and added text-align: center; to the new container in CSS. Also remove width: 100%; from .paginator

Also to note, make that container outside of your foreach loop.

See working example here:

.container {
  text-align: center;
}


.paginator {
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  text-align: center;
  display: inline-block;
  /*position: absolute;*/
  /*bottom: 0;*/
  /*left:0;*/
  /*right:0;*/
}

.paginator li {
  padding: 5px 8px 8px 8px;
  font-size: 13px;
  font-weight: 600;
  transition: .5s;
  border: thin solid #2A4143;
  /*border-radius: 0 25px 0 0;*/
  top: 100%;
  left: -1px;
  height: 28px;
  width: 28px;
  background-color: #F5F5F5;
  display: inline;
  /*display: block;*/
  /*margin-left: auto;*/
  /*margin-right: auto;*/
  /*max-height: 100px;*/
  /*position: absolute;*/
  }

<div class="container">
<div class="paginator">
          <ul>
            <li><a>Echo'd PHP stuff here</a></li>
          </ul>
        </div>
        
      <div class="paginator">
          <ul>
            <li><a>Echo'd PHP stuff here</a></li>
          </ul>
        </div>
        
        <div class="paginator">
          <ul>
            <li><a>Echo'd PHP stuff here</a></li>
          </ul>
        </div>
        
</div>
