A template with intergrated software I recently purchased had to be re-worked to suit my needs, but I cannot figure out how to change the $ values to UK Sterling £'s.
Can someone advise which html or php templates I need to adjust and what I parts I might need to be looking to change.
I am not really a techie so please bear with me.

The site is: www.mckeller.com

Thanks in advance.

You would need to show us some of your server side code - php in this case.

You purchased that software? It's not even consistent in implementation! Absolutely amazing what people get suckered into buying. The layout is table-based, the tag attributes mix quoting with non-quoting and it uses deprecated tags! Good luck with that code base.

If you told us what the script is, we might be able to provide better assistance as all you've said so far is that you have some script that you want to change in a specific way which doesn't give us much to work with. Reminds me of the quote I use in my email sig: "The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution. — Bertrand Russell"

I am using PHP 4.4.4.

Are there any reputable folks on here that wouldn't mind having a go at changing the code from $ to £'s if I gave them access to the server for a small consideration?

Jeremy, I and in no way techinically minded I wouldn't know where to look for what you are asking. If you can direct me then I will give you whatever information you need to help me. This is a genuine request from someone who needs help with setting up this site.

Ask me to strip down an engine of some performance V8 vehicle and build a nice racing spec unit, no problems... each to their own !

have a look to see if there is a folder called "lang" or something similar, in there you should have a file called lang_english or again, something similar,

Open that and with a bit of luck, you'll have something that can be changed like

currency=$ where you can change to £.

All of what I'm suggesting is only a theory mid you and if the script has been written badly, you may not be able to do it that easy!

Good luck!

I was going to suggest loading the site into dreamweaver and using the search whole site / source code ... this has helped me out a few times
