[PHP] Storing £ (pound sterling) sign and displaying in HTML email
Could someone please point me in the right direction here please? I have a form textarea field (submitted using POST) that accepts free text that will include the likes of '£' (pound sterling symbol) that is written to a MySql database and later retrieved to output into an HTML email. I have been experimenting with htmlentities, htmlspecialchars and addslashes but still have the problem whereby I get ACirc; preceeding the pound; Could someone kindly suggest what I'm doing wrong and what function(s) I should be looking into?

You could just store the amount numerically (and optionally the currency if need be) and just put the pound; in your HTML file. -- Richard Heyes In Cambridge?
