This is my code in gameOver.php and I can't seem to figure out why my $_SESSION["score"] is not being maintained properly. My first time through testing, it displayed 4 correctly, now I'm having some issues even printing out the echo and it will not reset after the restart() function that executes the header redirect.
From my research, I think the issue revolves around the header() redirect, but I can't seem to figure it out. I tried an AJAX workaround but it didn't work.
And yes, session_start(); is at the very top of my code on my game.php code. The game.php code is pretty long and kind of messy so I will save you all from the pain of seeing that.
