php form data
I have a text box on a php page residing on my apache web server which has the following:
"£300 plus other text lines"
The page is uft-8 encoded
The text "£300" is displayed correctly on my web server - ie the "£" sign comes across correctly
If I send the details of this text box via a php form, the "£300" comes out as "£300"
Can someone explain what is happening and how I can get rid of the £ and replace with £
