Hi - I have a CActiveForm that has a couple of text fields where I’m expecting that users might often want to enter £ (pound) signs. When I test this, the pound signs are being saved in the database as questions marks (?).
I’m sure this probably has something to do with character sets but I don’t know enough to begin to formulate a plan for solving it.
Anybody got any idea?
cheers,
Gordon
Hi Gordon - Have you tried just changing the content type to UTF-8 in the template?
eg
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
Gordon
Just tried it and that worked fine. Thanks very much.
cheers,
Gordon
No problem. I get the impression this problem was starting to drive you mad.
Yes it was. But I’m feeling much better now.
