CoolCalmChrisHi WordPress Community,
I've been building out a custom php script to allow users to input data in a form and pull information from a REST API for the RentJuice real estate rental search platform. I'm pretty sure I now have everything in working order except for what happens upon clicking the "submit" button.
Basically, upon clicking "submit" the page should reload with a list of rental properties available below the search form. Instead, upon submission, the script is somehow redirecting to the site's home page. I've pasted the code below (and cut a number of the option values for the sake of it not being super long. The page in action is currently at: http://blrboston.com/rental-search-test/ . Any help would be greatly appreciated!
<?php
/*
Template name: Rental Search Test
*/
get_header();
?>
<?php
/*

$minrent = $_POST["Min Rent"];
$maxrent = $_POST["Max Rent"];
$minbeds = $_POST["Min Beds"];
$maxbeds = $_POST["Max Beds"];
$neighborhood = $_POST["Neighborhood"];
$minbaths = $_POST["Baths"];
$pets = $_POST["Pets"];
$mindateavailable = $_POST["Earliest Date Available"];
$maxdateavailable = $_POST["Latest Date Available"];
if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) { // if page is not submitted to itself echo the form
?>
