hey all,
is anyone else getting thier POUND (£ or &#163) suffixed by an ACIRC ( Â or &#194 ) ?

if i use a '£' symbol in my content it is displayed in the backend as a £ BUT it is displayed in the frontend as... Â£

is this something with mysql or phpwcms?

is thier anything I can do to fix this?

Mmm, my wild guess: UTF-8 doesn't like it, try iso-8859-1 o 2

Cheers

thanks guys,

I think this is a contender for the most delayed responce in forum history

truth is, i completely forgot aout this problem and have only just redicovered it :S

can i ask if I have installed and build a site using one format what would i need to do to conver/migrate to another format?
I guess changing the config.inc.php file from "UTF-8" to "iso-8859-1" would help
do i need to change that of my phpmyadmin too? and to what?

thanks for your help
