Hey guys, I've got a bit of a weird problem...
I'm working on a temporary battle system for a game, and the thing acts... Weird. I have a variable that keeps unsettling, and I can't quite figure out why, It's the $mhp variable.

I also have a live version. To enter the program main, you have to be shepherded through another page. The page is here.
I've played with variable outputs throughout the thing, and my own exploring finds that it seems to disappear just before the section I've marked "// 1". Any thoughts?
