£ is displayed as ?

[lulubell]

Hi there

I have a simple form that passes some values to a page that generates an email.

It all works fine, but I am having trouble showing a £ sign.

Some of the values passed from the form get calculated then the result is passed on in the email.

Such as:

$Amount = $HTTP_POST_VARS["amount"];

$Cost="98" * $Amount

$Total="£".$Cost;

Then in the body I display $Total, but it is displayed as

Total: ?98 (Assuming amount == 1)

Does anybody know how to get around this?

I have tried to use £ instead of £, I've tried to use:

Total: £98

but it always shows as ?

Any help would be much appreciated...

Try something like this:

$total=98;
print 'Total: £'.$total;
