[SOLVED] £ signs

[Adam W]

I use a textarea to capture input text for an e-mail.

 

When ever a user enters a £ sign the e-mail generated contains the HTML code £ which is correct for a web page but how do I convert this to a £ for inclusion in a plain text e-mail, I thought html_entity_decode() would provide the correct functionality but it does not seem to when used like this

$body = $_POST[Message];
$body = html_entity_decode($body);

Thanks for any help

Make sure the email is in UTF-8 or something similar and it should work just fine as plain text.... How to get it back to plain text, I have no idea....

 

You could str_replace all the & codes......

I was rather hoping that I wouldn't have too!

<?php
$string = "1,600£";
echo "before: " . $string . "<br />"
$string = str_replace("£", "£", $string);
echo "after: " . $string . "<br />";
?>
