note: I believe the dollar sign will also be translated, could be wrong.

Hi guys,
Im having problems with the Euro and Pound currency signs and storing them
etc...
here is my scenario. I have a menu/list of currencies available for
selection, HTML below for the signs:
$
£
€
When listed in the browser they show fine.
When I want to save them, they are saved as the actual sign in the DB and
not the HTML code for the symbol, which isnt a train smash, however, when
I try compare the values in the DB with the predefined list of currency
symbols, I get some problems.
The below if statement doesnt seem to resolve:
if ($row['p_currency'] == "") //where is also the value in the DB
even if the value is , or € it still never reverts to true...
So is there a special way I should be treating the symbols and maybe a
special way I should be storing them? or comparing them?
thanks in advance
