Change Currency symbol

[jezza]

Hi

I am trying to change currency symbol from '$' to '£'. In currency helper php I have changed return '$' to return '£' but only get ? marks where it should be in items view etc. If I change this to other characters such as ",* etc it displays them OK also if I add GBP that is displayed also.
Any Ideas why £ should cause a problem.

Thanks

It is most likely due to not using utf-8 encoding. Check in applications/views/header.php

Checked coding and is set to utf-8, and other ideas

Thanks

Doubt this will work, but maybe try using the HTML entity instead?

£ or £

Have you tried to place a \ in front of it?

find and change following file name : currency_helper.php

Code: Select all

<?php
function to_currency($number)
{
   return '$'.number_format($number, 2, '.', '');
}
?>

the way to change currency :

Code: Select all

return ' your currency '.number_format($number, 2, '.', '');
