This is driving me mad, I'm sure I'm missing something.
I save the £ sign into the database and it displays fine when I check the database, but when I print this out in a pdf it displays as £.
I can't use modify headers because I'm previewing a pdf in the chrome web browser.
Any ideas would be great!!!
Ok it looks like I solved this using:
$varivalue = iconv('UTF-8', 'windows-1252', $varivalue);
Leaving this open in case anyone has some more ideas.
DB charset and collation is?
Can't send header you say?
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
Thanks Diafol,I know that would resolve it but I'm outputting a pdf straight to the browser, so I can't specify the header type.
In any case the solution above seems to have solved it. I checked in the db and it was saving it correctly.
