problem with the pound "£" sign when inputting dat

Post by paulng »

Hi!

I have a form on my CMS that input data into a database then display on the information on a website. But my form is rejecting the pound sign (£) and everything I try to enter after the pound sign. Has anyone ever come across this problem and what was the solution. my problem is I dont even understand why my application is bahaving like this. is there any type of string manipulation function that would resolve this problem?

You reply will be appreciated :?:

Ta!

maybe there is one that is taking the input and it does not like the pound sign so it just deletes the whole string or maybe the database field is int so you cant put in a pound sign.
