Hello,
I'm experiencing some odd character encoding
issues. My PHP webpage is displaying test from
a MySQL database. What happens is that I export
data from an SQL Server database to a MySQL
(4.0) database. Somewhere along the line the
British currency pound-sign "£" becomes a "ú" (u
with somesort of accent on it!). I cannot
figure out why this is happening and what to do about it.
I could use a PHP routine to find-and-replace
the chars but surely there is a way to tackle the root problem?
Any ideas gang?
Alex
If you end up having to do conversion, perhaps
you should convert the pound signs to HTML
character representations ("£" translates to "£").
That's about all I can come up with... :)
