Passing HTML variables from one page to PHP script on another page

  • as the title denotes im passing HTML variables from one page to PHP script on another page. The page with the HTML form is a wordpress template and the page that I am trying to send the variables to is a custom made template that i made by modfying the page.php file in the theme folder which i saved as searchresult.php.

    This is the code from the submit page:

    <form action="searchresult.php" method="post"><input type="text" name="HTML_Width" placeholder="Width" /> <input type="text" name="HTML_Height" placeholder="Height" />
<!--Radio Buttons-->
<input type="radio" name="HTML_MeasurementType" value="standard" />Inches
<input type="radio" checked="checked" name="HTML_MeasurementType" value="metric" />Millimeters
<!--Search Button-->
<input type="submit" name="search" value="Search" /></form>

    when ever i submit this form i just get a blank page. what am i doing wrong?

    Here the part of the PHP code from the results page. 

    <?php
/*
Template Name: Search Results
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php dt_storage('have_sidebar', true); ?>

<?php get_template_part('top-bg'); ?>

<?php get_template_part('parallax'); ?>

<div id="wrapper">

<?php get_template_part('nav'); ?>

<div id="container">

<?php
if( have_posts() ) {
    while( have_posts() ) {
        the_post();
        the_content();
    }
}
?>

<h1 style="max-width: 962px;">Search Results</h1>       

<div class="hr hr-wide gap-big"></div>

<form method="post">
<input type="text" name="HTML_Width" placeholder='Width'/> <input type="text" name="HTML_Height" placeholder='Height'/> <input type="radio" name="HTML_MeasurementType" value="standard">Inches <input checked  type="radio" name="HTML_MeasurementType" value="metric">Millimeters <input type="submit" name="search" value="Search"/>
</form>            

<div class="hr gap-big"></div> 

	<?php

		include 'datalogin.php';
		//MySQL Database Connect.

                $min_length = 1;

	?>

<body>

		<?php
			if (isset($_POST['HTML_Width']) && isset($_POST['HTML_Height']) && is_numeric($_POST['HTML_Width']) && is_numeric($_POST['HTML_Height']))
				{
					$php_Width = $_POST['HTML_Width'];
					$php_Height = $_POST['HTML_Height'];
					$php_Type = $_POST['HTML_MeasurementType'];
					// gets values sent from search form

					$min_length = 1;
					// set query minumum length
