hi all,
I have a php script that saves what the user types in into a text file using fwrite, and displays it on another page using file_get_contents.
When putting in a pound sign (£), it saves the following to the text file:
£
Any idea how I can stop this from happening and instead get the pound sign working properly?
Max.
<?php
$input = str_replace("£", "£", $input);
?>where $input is the string you are entering into a text file.

iv tried that but cant get any changes working. its quite a complex problem and I have tried many possible solutions... if anybody else has had the same thing that would be best.
I think its an encoding charset discrepency?
UTF-8 encoding
html charset
the GBP pound sign gets 2 bytes in utf8 utf16 its not one of the lower 127 ascii codes that gets directly translated
the page that reads the stored data file needs to be charset UTF-8,
logically aware of the answer, my phone does not have my stored links on it so I cant post the relevant link
(anti boredom browsing)
