# Querying multiple custom fields

 * I’m having some trouble querying multiple custom fields. I have created a custom
   search form that the values are posted to the query. It’s working, but it’s only
   querying the 1 value. Here is the code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       	$bedrooms = $_GET['bedrooms'];
       	$bathrooms = $_GET['bathrooms'];
       	$bedroom_key = 'bedrooms';
       	$bathroom_key = 'bedrooms'
       ?>
       <?php
       $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
       query_posts( array(
       	'post_type' => 'property',
       	'posts_per_page' => '2',
       	'paged' => $paged,
       	'meta_query' => array(
       		array(
       			'key' => $bedroom_key,
       			'value' => $bedrooms,
       			'compare' => '>='
       			),
       		array(
       			'key' => $bathroom_key,
       			'value' => $bathrooms,
       			'compare' => '>='
       			)
       			)
       			) );?>
       ```
   
 * So really, this query is only getting the posts that match the “bedrooms” but
   not the “bathrooms”. This is live at [http://www.bayofplenty.info](http://www.bayofplenty.info)

 * In the outer meta_query array, include ‘relation’ => ‘AND’.

 * Thanks! I’ve sorted it, it was actually the value of the bathroom_key variable!
   I noticed it had the bedroom value! Such an idiot I am.
