Try setting the charset to utf-8

Instead of £ try using £ instead.

You need to use HTML entities:

Thanks all problem solved now after doing what you both said

A similar problem again only this time it is wilst dispalying a live feed from ebay instead of displaying £2.94 its displaying ?2.94 the charset is set to utf-8 and obviously i cant use &pound which fixed the problem last time !
Any more ideas

Looks as it should on my end.

Edit:

After I posted the above message I checked it in IE and sure enough it was wrong. Try using the the entity number:

PHP Code:

£ 


rather than the entity name.

Ok i have figures out what the entity code is however th e live feed from ebay is as follows

<script language="JavaScript" src="<A href="http://ilapi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?EKServer&ai=g.k%60%7C%28&bdrcolor=666666&cid=0&eksize=10&encode=ISO-8859-1&endcolor=FF0000&endtime=y&fbgcolor=EFEFEF&fntcolor=000000&fs=0&hdrcolor=FFFFCC&hdrimage=11&hdrsrch=n&img=n&lnkcolor=0000FF&logo=13&num=25&numbid=y&paypal=n&popup=n&prvd=1&query=music+dvd&r0=4&shipcost=n&siteid=3&sort=MetaEndSort&sortby=endtime&sortdir=asc&srchdesc=n&tbgcolor=FFFFFF&tlecolor=7D4D1B&tlefs=0&tlfcolor=FFFFFF&track=2283766&watchcat=58584&width=570"></script>">http://ilapi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?EKServer&ai=g.k%60%7C%28&bdrcolor=666666&cid=0&eksize=10&encode=ISO-8859-1&endcolor=FF0000&endtime=y&fbgcolor=EFEFEF&fntcolor=000000&fs=0&hdrcolor=FFFFCC&hdrimage=11&hdrsrch=n&img=n&lnkcolor=0000FF&logo=13&num=25&numbid=y&paypal=n&popup=n&prvd=1&query=music+dvd&r0=4&shipcost=n&siteid=3&sort=MetaEndSort&sortby=endtime&sortdir=asc&srchdesc=n&tbgcolor=FFFFFF&tlecolor=7D4D1B&tlefs=0&tlfcolor=FFFFFF&track=2283766&watchcat=58584&width=570"></script>

So i am unsure of how i can implement the entity number in the above code

Thanks
