Hi guys,

Im having problems with the Euro and Pound currency signs and storing
them etc...

here is my scenario. I have a menu/list of currencies available for
selection, HTML below for the signs:

$
£
€

When listed in the browser they show fine.
When I want to save them, they are saved as the actual sign in the DB
and not the HTML code for the symbol, which isnt a train smash, however,
when I try compare the values in the DB with the predefined list of
currency symbols, I get some problems.

The below if statement doesnt seem to resolve:


if ($row['p_currency'] == "€") //where € is also the value in the DB


even if the value is €, or € it still never reverts to true...

So is there a special way I should be treating the symbols and maybe a
special way I should be storing them? or comparing them?

thanks in advance
