Change $ to £ !?!

Hi,

I;m not much of a PHP person and I need to change the dollar sign to a pound £ sign on my code. I think its this bit ‘</strong> $’ (see below for complete line), but if I change it to ‘</strong>£’ textpattern goes nuts!

Any ideas?

The complete line:

$cart_display .= '<li class="subtotal"><strong>' . $subtotal_label . '</strong> $' . number_format($cart->total,2) . '</li>';

Can you give some details on the ‘going nuts’ part?

This is what it spits out:

Looks like textile somehow messed your quotes. This should work as I see it:

$cart_display .= '<li class="subtotal"><strong>' . $subtotal_label . '</strong> &#163;' . number_format($cart->total,2) . '</li>';

Cheers!

I really thought that would work. But It just turns it into a squiggle and also cuts into the price.

Re: Change $ to £ !?!

You were close though! The code needed to be &pound;

Thanks for the help!
