iamhrc on "Pagination Not Retaining Query"

Hello,

I've written this script and can't seem to get it to work right.

Background: I have a custom search for a real estate website and need to search for posts by number of rooms, neighborhood, amenities and price range. The script works but when trying to paginate it looses it's query information. It's almost like it's not retaining the query and starting a new one. I suspect this because of my debug code...so my code is running right at first but then when I hit next it shows the results as if I didn't select anything.

I know I'm over looking something so any help is greatly appreciated!

<?php
/** * Template Name: Listings
**/ // Get Neighborhood info $neighborhood = $_POST['neighborhood']; $totalneighborhood = count($neighborhood); $n=0; // Gather selected listings, if nothing is selected display all. $neighborhoodlist=array(); if (!empty($_POST['neighborhood'])) { foreach($neighborhood as $n_value) { $neighborhoodlist[]=$n_value; } } else { $neighborhoodlist=array('Bloomfield', 'Downtown', 'East Liberty', 'Lawrenceville', 'Oakland', 'North Side', 'Regent Square', 'Shadyside', 'South Side', 'Strip District', 'Squirrel Hill', 'Uptown'); } // Get Bedrooms info $bedrooms = $_POST['bedrooms']; $totalbedrooms = count($bedrooms); $x=0; // Gather selected bedrooms, if nothing is selected display all. $bedroomnum=array(); if (!empty($_POST['bedrooms'])) { foreach($bedrooms as $x => $x_value) { $bedroomnum[]=$x_value; } } else { $bedroomnum=array('Studio', '1', '2', '3+'); } // Get Amenities info $amenities = $_POST['amenities']; $totalamenities = count($amenities); $a=0; // Gather selected amenities, if nothing is selected display all. $amenitiesnum=array(); if (!empty($_POST['amenities'])) { foreach($amenities as $a => $a_value) { // Query for amenities array for selected values that are "LIKE" in the array. $amenitiesnum[]=array('key'=>'amenities','value'=>$a_value,'compare'=>'LIKE'); } } else { $amenitiesnum=array('Integrated Parking', 'Pet Friendly', 'Gym', 'In-Unit Laundry', 'Rooftop/Private Outdoor Space', 'Pool', 'ZipCar Onsite'); } // Display Price // $minPrice Logic if (empty($_POST['minPrice'])) { $minPrice = 1; } else { $minPrice = $_POST['minPrice']; } // $maxPrice Logic if (empty($_POST['maxPrice'])) { $maxPrice = 9999; } else { $maxPrice = $_POST['maxPrice']; }
