Hi folks I have an application written in PHP using Postgresql as the back end. If I have a text box on a form and in it type a value including a pound sign everything works fine. It is written to the database correctly, and then read back and shown correctly on-screen. However, in my code to generate a purchase order I embed the pound sign in a string to be displayed and also to be used to update the database. In both cases the pound sign is replaced by a non-standard character. I assume this is because of a character encoding issue. Can someone tell me what I need to change and to what.
