This may be more of a mysql issue, but I am using php for my app so
here
goes...
I have a fee field in the database, and when users post events they
can
specify entrance fee in £. In some, not all, of the fields I am
getting, for
example, £7 rather than £. Is this an encoding issue?
Many thanks in advance...

Dave,
Maybe you already noticed that the first two letters of "£7" are the
UTF8 encoded pound sign. But where the 7 is coming from, I do not
know. Does the data come from a html form? A select list? Do you have
a valid html encoding specified for your html code? I would begin by
looking at the source where the data is coming from. In order to
track the bug, maybe (temporarily) you could have a db where you
would strore a var_dump on posted data together with a var_dump on
$_SERVER. It might be possible as well to get some information about
the users curent browser encoding by using some java script? This
information might give you some help in narrowing down the source of
your problem.
Otherwise, why not give your user predefined currencies to choose
from? A simple select list would do the trick.
