PHP - My Monster And Players Hitpoints Keep Resetting,

Hi, I have a battle script that has a monster and player fighting. The hit points keep resetting on both characters. I set my session variables in intro.php, and included a session_start(); on the pages leading up to my main battle page. I set the array names of both $monster stats and $player stats to $_SESSION variables and initialized them on a separate page before the main page. My monster and players hitpoints keep resetting so no one dies. Any help GREATLY appreciated. Thanks. Derek

here is the intro page where I initialize the stat session variables.

Code: [Select]
<?php
 //include("connect1.php");
session_start();
// include('bouncer_final.php');
 
 //include("bouncer.php"); // kicks the person off if session is not set, its the bouncer, big and fat man.
 
$_SESSION['charname']='';
$_SESSION['player']['stats']['playerHP'] = 100;
$_SESSION['player']['stats']['playerMana'] = 100;
$_SESSION['player']['stats']['playerDmgLow'] = 1;
$_SESSION['player']['stats']['playerDmgHigh'] = 10;
$_SESSION['player']['stats']['playerHitRollLow'] = 1;
$_SESSION['player']['stats']['playerHitRollHigh'] = 20;
$_SESSION['player']['stats']['playerDefense'] = 5;
$_SESSION['player']['stats']['Teardrop_Ocean_Protectors'] = 3;
 
$_SESSION['monsters']['Ocean']['octalisk']['exp']=10;
$_SESSION['monsters']['Ocean']['octalisk']['mana']=100;
$_SESSION['monsters']['Ocean']['octalisk']['hp']=100;


/* End */

 

?>
here is the main battle page where all my battle coding goes on, and I declare the session variables equal to my array names near the top .

Code: [Select]
<?php

session_start();
 // include("connect1.php");
 //include('bouncer_final.php');

//turned these off while we are developing 
 
// ini_set('display_errors',1);

error_reporting(E_ALL);

//error_reporting(0);

// error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
