Hi guys,
I have a text area which i populate with some data save it to the database. The problem is if i put 570£ when i use the pound symbol
it inserts strange characters into the databse. Anyone know why this would be happening as I am using iso-8859-1 as my forms charset and in the database itsself which im using Navicat im using the westEuropean character set. Here is the symbol its putting in 570£. Could this be a coding problem?
